Sounds easy enough. Now all I have to do is figure out how to do it

The standard way I have found is to pick a box (IP address with high uptime)
somewhere on the Internet and then ping it. If you cannot ping then restart the
connection. Putting this into a infinite loop with a call to sleep so it checks
every minute or so, or have cron do it every minute.

Hello everyone
I have been trying to find a simple solution for an on going problem.
I have a Linux based firewall / router located out of town. It connects
to the Internet via a satellite connection (the only other option is
dial-up internet)
Due to several factors, at times the connection can be less than
favorable, and we have to go and manually obtain the IP address from
the ISP (after someone discovers that there is no connection again)
When I am there, I have found is that simply restarting the network
service will re-establish the connection.
Is there a way. that the Linux machine can monitor the status of the
incoming connection from the ISP, and attempt to restore the connection
if it is lost? And continue to attempt to re-connect to the ISP until
connection is restored (sometimes, this can be hours due to weather).
