When I do "ppp -ddial isp" it dials my ISP fine, but if the connection gets
dropped (either via me testing it by physically removing and then replacing the
connection - or by my ISP deciding to drop my line) it doesn't redial. I've
also tried this via interactive mode and no redial occurs. Could someone
PLEASE help me fix my configuration??
1. I'm using FreeBSD 3.2 that came with "The Complete FreeBSD", running on a
Cyrix 133. 200 Meg Swap. Plenty of RAM (something like 96 meg).
2. I have a standard modem ("Zoom modem" 33.3? 33.6? something like that).
3. when I dial "ppp -ddial isp" i get the following response (computer is
called "myname"):
myname# ppp -ddial isp
Working in ddial mode
Using interface: tun0
At this point it connects and everything is fine. It wont redial upon
a disconnect though.
4. My ppp.conf is as follows (minus my login phone#, id
and pw):
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 115200
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
isp:
set phone MY_ISP_PHONE_NUMBER
# Don't close the connection for idle time
set timeout 0
# Log On Info
set authname MY_LOGIN_ID
set authkey MY_LOGIN_PW
# Dynamic IP Address
set ifaddr 0 0
add default HISADDR
enable dns
# reconnect after 3 seconds, 999 tries
set reconnect 3 999
# redial after 10 seconds, infinite tries
set redial 10 0
