Thanks... that helps a fair bit.  Sadly, it doesn't seem to actually  
work  (at least in 2.6.24.5  - and no Changelogs seems to indicate  
anything has been done since).  If just a PADT is sent, without LCP  
Term beforehand, the connection stays up until the LCP echos timeout  
(if enabled) or forever.
