Yep, there's no need for demand just to get a connection that re-dials.
There's a persist option.
Huh... the things you learn. <scratches head> I will give this a try.
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
Can you share this with me?
Ofcourse it all depends upon how YOU are calling pppd as to where to set the persist option.
I'm calling the durn thing by hand, and also "by hand" from rc.local. My wife has learned that, if I'm away on a trip and she is truly desperate, she can just yank the power cord on the firewall and then plug it back in, and that everything will come up neatly again. Yuck.
