Subject:   VPN question (using ppp and ssh)

I have setup a VPN using ppp and ssh, using the device !/etc/ppp/secure
in the ppp.conf. Amost the same as that provided in the ppp.conf.sample in
2.2.8. I want to use the VPN in the -auto mode because the vpn session is
routed over a standard on demand ppp connection to an ISP. The problem that
I am having is that when anything (including the idle timer) causes the
link to come down and ssh terminates, ppp also terminates with a discripter
0 error.

I have tried listing multiple instances of !/etc/ppp/secure in the device
statement in ppp.conf hoping that when ppp sees the failed device it would
try the next, but it doesn't. It appears that when ssh terminates and
closes stdin/stdout it causes a fatal error that ppp cannot recover from.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this?
