Subject: I want PPP to stay up all the time
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

OS: FreeBSD 2.1.

I'm have a full-time (modem) ppp connection to the internet.  I'd like the  
link to stay up all the time.  What happens now with both kernel and user PPP  
is that if the link drops (i.e. due to a noisy phone line), it stays down.

I've gone over the man pages and the FreeBSD Handbook and have found nothing  
that seems to help.  I would dig through the source, but my CD drive is dead  
(but under warranty, so will eventually be replaced).

I have tried both user and kernel ppp.

Any suggestions?
