I don't know about your phone line, but with mine, it takes about 2 minutes from pon until I've got a ppp0 to work with. Its a 3Com Courier so perhaps its all the handshaking, I don't know. I do use persist since the phone is unreliable. Now if only rsync had a timeout to retry (instead of just a timeout to exit).
