pppd redial



Hi,

I'm looking for a way to get pppd to try for n times to connect to my
isp before giving up.

The problem is that quite often, pppd dials, then noting happens for a
little while then it stops - with a helpful "alarm" entered in the logs.

I *think* this error corresponds to the isp not answering, but I'm not
sure, since it doesn't the chat script is set to give a no answer error.

anyway - sometimes I have to make it dial two or three times by hand -
which is a pain.

(btw - I don't mean a persistant connection that redials when it drops
out)

cheers
