I use the "demand" option to bring up the interface in question when needed and kill it after there was no outbound traffic for 5 minutes.
Sometimes the connection wouldnt succeed and the ppp daemon would run in a timeout

----------
With every older version a subsequent try to connect would start the process again. With the latest version I get the completely same messages as above, but subsequent tries to connect (pinging something to trigger dialing) give no reaction (no syslog entry at all). I have to restart the daemon to get it working again.
I think that the same problem causing persist to fail is responsible for the behaviour I see.
Kind regards, Michael
