Thanks, i tried that and it didn't seem to work.
I set persist="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-ppp0 and added a
line that said holdoff="30" ala the man pages.
it does this:
Oct 19 06:27:51 gateway pppd[31753]: Modem hangup
Oct 19 06:27:51 gateway pppd[31753]: Connection terminated.
Oct 19 06:27:51 gateway pppd[31753]: Connect time 1.4 minutes.
Oct 19 06:27:51 gateway pppd[31753]: Sent 3309 bytes, received 7601 bytes.
Oct 19 06:27:53 gateway pppd[31753]: Exit.
Oct 19 06:27:55 gateway ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/ttyS2 at
115200
Oct 19 06:27:56 gateway pppd[31838]: pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid 0

So it doesn't seem to wait but just persists as normal. Is there somewhere
else i'm meant to add the holdoff command?

thanks,

dave
