Greetings, Another task for the native gurus... These issues are all on 2.2.5R. (1) The Complete FreeBSD states there is a "demand" option in /etc/ppp/options. I am able to use "persist", but not "demand". I believe this is a doc error, and will forward this to the appropriate folks upon confirmation. (2) The persist option on works is the pppd daemon is *successful* on it's attempt to reconnect. If the chat script fails for some reason, it will cease all future efforts to re-establish the ppp connection. Is there a way around this behaviour? (3) The CHAT page says to see UUCP for more info on chat scripting. UUCP tells me to see CHAT! WTF? (4) Regardless of #3, the scripting engine is not very reliable, which is what brought about #2. Just to recap what I actually *need*... How do I force pppd to continue trying to reestablish a connection, no matter what - forever if need be? J.A.
