I have the following in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/reconnect: ( sleep 5 while ! ifconfig | grep ppp0 >/dev/null 2>&1; do if ! ps ax | grep '[0-9] /usr/sbin/pppd call dsl-provider' >/dev/null 2>&1; then pon dsl-provider; fi sleep 15 done ) & "dsl-provider" should be replaced with the name of your connection (the file in /etc/ppp/peers/). The script is executed as soon as the ppp connection goes down and continually tries to reestablish it until it succeeds.
