Merely put the line
persist
in your options file and it will redial and reconnect.
My options file follows
/dev/cuaa1
115200
connect "/usr/bin/chat '' 'atdtXXXXXXX' '' '\\r'
'rname>-\\r-name>' 'USER' 'word>' 'PASSWORD'"
crtscts
lock
defaultroute
netmask 255.255.255.0
0:0
persist
modem
The above chat script varies with the ISP's terminal server.
