Hi,

I keep seeing people talk about pinging the other side of their
ADSL line in order to discover whether it's still up and re-run
pppd if ping fails.

Have anyone of them tried pppd's "persist" option and decided that
it's not good enough?

Except for cases when pppd crashes (which I didn't see happening lately), it looks like a fine idea. Just make sure it's not 'pptp' running 'pppd' - but instead 'pppd' running 'pptp' (via pppd's "pty" option - see "pptp --help" for an example).
(Ignore this if you're using a PPP over Ethernet configuration.)
