 Hi folks,

 If broadband connection dies accidentally due to unsecured plug how to 
 re-activate it avoiding rebooting PC.  Occasionally re-securing the plug and 
 waiting for a while the broadband connection will reactivate automatically.
 
 kindly advise.  TIA

Again, all very thoroughly explained in the included
documentation.  As suggested, 'man ppp' and 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ppp-and-slip.html

Just so you know, the handbook and manpages are generally
included in the system install, unless you explicitly left
them out.

ppp comes with an option -ddial which will make it restore a
connection immediately. For more information have a look at
# man ppp
