Does anyone know how to detect if you got disconnected while in a PPP 
session and then be able to automatically reconnect?

I have started PPP from a terminal session, then issued the dial 
command, and gotten connected to my service provider.  I need to know 
how to detect if I get disconnected, ams then, somwhow get reconnected 
without being in from of my computer (i.e., automatically detect 
diconnection and then automatically reconnect).

Thanks,
Gary Crutcher
