did you see that holger starts a PPTP connection in his mail?
if you need to redial pppoe, you should use this. (obviously) ;)

if you have a ssh-session available to the router you should see the mpd
with the full partameters in 'ps auxww | grep mpd'
a interactive test on the shell worked verry well the first time, but
the second forced reconnect after 2 minutes made me starting mpd again
to start the pppoe connection.
i'll check if this works well with cron.

thanx holger!

cheers,
thomas
