Is it possible to have pppd reconnect automatically? I have a script /usr/sbin/ppp-on to start pppd with the required options, if necessary I can put all of them in /etc/ppp/options so it can be brought up with a simple pppd command. However, can I make the system do it (as with SysV's /etc/inittab) so that whenever the process dies it restarts it? Or do I have to write my own program to do it? I DID try ppp, after I use term to establish the "Packet mode" and ppp becomes PPP, I ^Z and bg, then after the first <ENTER> I type in the shell, it sends a 'machine gun' stream of beeps through my PC speaker (not the modem speaker) until I kill the shell. The "tone" of the beep changes as I switch ttys. Thanks for any input!
