okay, i found the problem... at times, the first couple of redial
attempts after a forced disconnection failed. the "maxfail" parameter
has a default of 10, so after 10 failed tries, pppd would exit.
setting maxfail to 0 along with persist and holdoff 0 ensures that the
connection through pppd is as always on as possible (lovely
construction those last five words, don't you think?).
