I tried that; it still dies off... ;-( > Hardly surprising since kernel mode ppp has no demand-dial capability :-) Actually you can give it a connect script that it runs when you start it up, but if the connection breaks it doesn't redial (as you say, it ain't supposed to...) One thing I *DID* find out is if you put proxyarp in the options file the pppd daemon process never goes away! EXCEEDINGLY annoying. It might be nice to add a clause in the man page telling people not to use the "proxyarp" option (the message I got this from indicated it doesn't work anyway.)
