Look for some code I *just* posted to the hackers mailing list this morning which does this very thing. It should be easy to find in the mail archives. I just found a problem with the scheme I'm using that exists in the original code such that IF the connection can't be re-established, PPP will fill up the logfile with lots (100+/sec) LCP messages, and after a period of time completely give up and exist. This same problem can occur with 'auto' mode as well, so I'll try to come up with a generic fix. Nate
