ppp/chat: BLACKLISTED after (many) tries
After several (about 10) unsucessful tries (engaged), chat consistantly
refuses to rediail my ISP. In syslog, I get:
Jan 18 20:34:57 muso modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108

Does anyone know how to make chat stop thinking that provider
is BLAKCLISTED? Yes, I should get a real ISP, but that's not
possible in this country (all the others make me pay telephone
chageres).
(Another silly thing is that, once any phone number is blacklisted,
every phone number after that is blakclisted too. So, to change
ISP, I actually have to reboot!)
Thanks,
