that is assuming your pppd never dies due to the fact that the connection
died. How do you get it up again without sitting in front of the box?
You can configure RedHat without GUI.
Its all done in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts"
You need to edit basically three files:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0
/etc/ppp/peers/ppp0
----------------------------------------------- ifcfg-ppp0
DEVICE="ppp0"
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
MODEMPORT=/dev/ttyS1
LINESPEED=115200
PAPNAME=PUT YOUR USERNAME HERE
PERSIST=yes
DEFABORT=yes
INITSTRING=ATZ
DEFROUTE=yes
HARDFLOWCTL=yes
ESCAPECHARS=no
PPPOPTIONS=
REMIP=
NETMASK=""
IPADDR=
MRU=
MTU=1500
DISCONNECTTIMEOUT=
RETRYTIMEOUT=5
BOOTPROTO=none
WVDIALSECT=
PEERDNS=no <-this makes sure that your resolv.conf isnt re-written each time!
DEBUG=no
----------------------------------------------- chat-ppp0
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATDTPUT YOUR PHONENUMBER HERE'
'CONNECT' ''
'sername:' 'PUT YOUR USERNAME HERE'
'sword:' 'PUT YOUR PASSWORD HERRE'
'TIMEOUT' '5'
'~--' ''
------------------------------------------------ ppp0
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0"
-----------------------------------------------------
and your done!

Oil, spark plugs, pertol, tires, wiper blades, etc available today with a car that
