YOu can use ping with a -c option to ping an outside machine.  If it fails
all pings there will be an error code and you can tell your machine to
reconnect.  (I'd pick a machine very close to you.  Like the first router
on the other side of your ppp link.)  Something like:


#!/bin/sh
ping -c 10 some.outside.router && reconnect.command
