FreeBSDers,
 I have a DSL net connection which lately has been locking up. I
*thought* that my settings would keep my connection alive and/or
reconnect when I lost the connection, but it doesn't seem to do it.  I
am able to hangup my session:

localhost# pp ppp
root     484  0.0  1.2  2424 1448  ??  Ss    3:31PM   0:00.22
/usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat pppoe

and restart:

localhost# /etc/netstart
Doing stage one network startup:
Doing initial network setup:.
de0: flags=88c3<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::200:c5ff:fe47:d7ef%de0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
        inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
        ether 00:00:c5:47:d7:ef 
        media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active
        supported media: autoselect 10base5/AUI 10base2/BNC 10baseT/UTP

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
Starting ppp as "root"Additional routing options: tcp extensions=NO TCP
keepalive=YES.
routing daemons:.
localhost# 

But loose all existing ssh sessions in the process. My ppp.conf is
below. 

For the DSL connection, how can I "keep it up"?

Many thanks in advance!!

-Brian
