/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0

specifically I want to know what the difference between 
disconnecttimeout and retrytimeout are....

basically I want my server to redial instantly if it's offline, but I 
want it to pause 360 seconds or so between unsuccessful dial-in 
attempts incase something whacky happens at our ISP and we get kicked 
off, can't log back in - but their modems keep answering the phone - 
which could get expensive if the retry was set to every 10 seconds or 
something and the server tried dialling in all night (or worse - all 
weekend!)

does this mean I want:

DISCONNECTTIMEOUT="1"
RETRYTIMEOUT="360"


TIA - dan.
