Redial tells ppp how/when to redial if it can't connect.  Reconnect 
tells ppp how/when to try again if it's unexpectedly disconnected.

If you use ``set redial 10 0'', you're probably using up 2 or 3 of 
your tries each time by failing to open the modem.  It takes your 
modem a few seconds (3?) to reset itself and the phone line.  Try 
``set redial 10 3'' instead.
