I've had bad results with the persist option. It seems to try to reconnect
before the modem is properly released and ends up stuck in a permanent
looop.
Is there a way to make the persist option wait a bit until the last pppd is
finished?
THanks to all those who helped me with cron, I think i can understand it a
bit better now.
thanks
