with persist, pppd isn't supposed to exit when the connection
drops.. are you sure you added it correctly? i have no idea what the
ifcfg-ppp0 script does, so you might have to get someone else to
answer that one. (i just put "persist" in /etc/ppp/peers/provider)
also, there is something else running pppd in a loop - restarting it
immediately when it exits. this loop will be unnecessary when persist
is actually working, since pppd does it itself.
