I don't know whether you're running OpenTransport or MacTCP.  It wouldn't
suprise me that there would be problem with OpenTransport, and how it might
interact with your PPP software.  You could try going back to classic
networking (MacTCP), and see if that fixes the problem.  Or upgrade to
the latest PPP (are you using FreePPP?).

If you use the ADSM Scheduler, there is an option that will shutdown the
Mac upon completion.  You can put
   SCHEDCOMPLETEACTION   SHUTDOWN
in the prefs file.  Changing SHUTDOWN to QUIT will cause ADSM to quit.
But these options don't work with the non-schedule client.

Hope this helps...
