Hi Werner, I don't really have a clue. I know the persist option works correct with pppoe and pppoatm, so the most obvious is to blame the speedtouch module. You can also try to tune the pppd 'maxfail' option. If this doesn't work, it's maybe the best to post the question on the speedtouch list. I don't think a lot of leaf users use a speedtouch modem.
