I use dip to create a PPP connection to my service provider.  When I use

Can anybody confirm this? It works for me (I'm using slip to create an
SLIP/CSLIP connection) and the source code contains a valid unlink call.
BTW: Do you use a (uu)getty on that line?

I think it is more subtle than this. 'dip -k' removes the link if you
terminate a proper connection properly. On the other hand, I often dial when
the lines are busy and have to abort the loop that dip executes from its
script with CTRL-C. A subsequent 'dip -k' does _not_ remove the lock, I have
to change hats and become root to remove it. Annoying.
