You are right, I want 24/7 because my provider allows it. I run "demand" because that is the only way I know to make the thing dial, then redial if dropped, and keep the connection up always. If there is a better way to get 24/7 and auto-redial, I have not found it. Any suggestions?
Yep, there's no need for demand just to get a connection that re-dials.
There's a persist option.
I have a script in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices called ifcfg-iiNet. iiNet is my provider. I THINK the script was creating with the X networking tool (set it up so long ago I don't even remember doing it). In there I have:
PERSIST=yes
Ofcourse it all depends upon how YOU are calling pppd as to where to set the persist option.
'man pppd' show me that persist is a pppd option as demand also is so this MAY wok for you:
instead of your:
"pppd demand call terra"
maybe this?
"pppd persist call terra"
Just a guess. Have a play.
