Hi, I'm looking for a way to get pppd to try for n times to connect to my isp before giving up.
The problem is that quite often, pppd dials, then noting happens for a little while then it stops - with a helpful "alarm" entered in the logs. I *think* this error corresponds to the isp not answering, but I'm not sure, since it doesn't the chat script is set to give a no answer error. anyway - sometimes I have to make it dial two or three times by hand - which is a pain. (btw - I don't mean a persistant connection that redials when it drops out) cheers dc -------------------------------------------------------- Today people in droves hurry up past Heumoz to Villars on the road to the ski hills, so they can rush down them as fast as possible, so they can hurry up again in order to rush down again.
