RH 5.2 is probably using a 2.0.x kernel and pppd 2.2.0. You can try
upgrading pppd to 2.3.11 which will still work with a 2.0.x kernel
version, but even then there's no guarantee that the persist option will
reconnect.
Otherwise you might be able to build a bash script to restart pppd, or if
you can maintain an unlimited time connection, then putting the pppd
command /etc/inittab with respawn might work. The latter has been
suggested here before.
