Mike,

When you reset the modem using "reset M#", that becomes a "User Request"
because the call circuit was closed external from the PPP server. If you
terminate a connection using "reset S#", that becomes an "Admin Reset".

The "User Request - Call Circuit Closed" disconnect occurs when dial-up
users close their session from the Dial-Up Monitor and clicking on "Hang
Up Modem". Killing the modem connection bypasses normal PPP disconnect
protocols. Users should disconnect from by expanding the connection icon
on the task bar and then selecting "Disconnect"; this generates the
disconnect message "User Request - PPP Term Req".

I suppose the "Call Circuit Closed" message could also occur when a modem
disconnects upon too many retrains. There's no way to distinguish between
a disconnect using "Hang Up Modem" and a telephone line problem; they
appear the same to the PM3.
