I *had* that working a while back (did you see the patches I posted to make ijppp do auto-redial *always*), but it wasn't robust enough for me since it didn't redial on demand 100% of the time. Sometimes it couldn't get a connection (busy phone line, etc..) and after 20 or so attempts it would blow off and die. It was pretty easy to get working. Is your modem setup to drop DTR when the lines goes down so ppp knows the link went down? Nate
