Only thing is, this doesn't help you if the modem just hangs up due to line noise, too many errors, or what not... I have a dedicated account with my ISP, so I don't have timeouts, but about once every 2 days or so, the modem will lose connection. I run a cron job that looks at the route table every few minutes to see if the route to my ISP is there... if it's not, then it restarts pppd. - Brian
