You can configure "/etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown" to redial.

[ppp.linkdown]

isp:
/usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat isp

#--end ppp.linkdown
(change isp to your isp label)


 and put redial to your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
 man ppp to see how


This is just an idea. I never try this. :P :D

   || Subject: resent - in txt format - using PPP to establish

   || Sorry everyone, forgot to convert to txt before sending 
   || this, so I'll resend
   || 
   || I'm having this huge problem:  I have adsl, and I connect 
   || using that PPPoE garbage.  I also just changed ISP for a 
   || less expensive one, and I'm beginning to realize why its 
   || less expensive.  I'm running a machine with FreeBSD 4.7 
   || stable on it and whenever it gets disconnected (about 
   || twice daily, believe it or not) it can't seem to 
   || "realize" that such is the case and thus never reconnects 
   || to get a new IP.  Does anyone have any idea what I can do 
   || to fix this?  Whenever I'm not around, and this happens, 
   || I have to go out of my way to drive to where this box is 
   || located to reboot it.  It's the only way I'm able to 
   || force it to reconnect.
   || 
   || TIA
