typo = typographical error ???

# ls /proc | grep dsl-provider
# ls /proc | grep ds-provider
# ls /proc | grep pon
# ls /proc | grep poff
all no printout

# ls /etc/ppp/peers/
dsl-provider
.........

I suppose the correct command to stop broadband
connection is;

# pon dsl-provider
/usr/bin/poff: I could not find a pppd process for
provider 'ds-provider'. None      stopped.

But it complained, ifconfig showing broadband still
connected

However running
# poff

No complaint and ifconfig showed broadband
disconnected.


I'm installing new Debian, running there

# poff dsl-provider
Stop broadband connection without complaint.

running
# poff
can't stop broadbank connection even thought without
complaint.

That makes me confusing.
