Brian, Thank you for the response. It looks as if the problem is a little deeper. We are getting disconnected every hour or so and i could not trace the problem to our machines. I tested different flow control options and still had the same problem. We have decided to go with a netopia stand alone router and change isps. If the problem presists then most likely its the phone company's issue. The connection was initially ran from start_if.tun0 but after dieing i just manually entered in ppp -background isp and this is when i sometimes got the error. I also believe -ddial would would have been more apporiate but don't think it would have helped with the line drop issue, just would have recovered better after the line drop.
