Edit /etc/ppp/peers/provider.  Replace

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"

with

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -t120 -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"

To make chat keep trying to connect for two minutes.  If your connection is
named something other than 'provider', edit the file with that name.
