Well,
I've seen similar problems actually. This is why I created my ADSL
auto-reconnect script. What I saw is that sometimes the connection
wasn't established, and I need to re-connect several times until it
was up properly. I don't think this is pppd problem, what I saw is
that pppd times out and exits. Sometimes connection simply dies (modem
remains synchronized, but pppd exits due to lack of lcp-echo-reply),
and it takes 10 tries or more to bring it back. Since the reconnection
is automatic and always succeeds, sooner or later, I don't worry about
it much. I connect to different ISP then Solomon, so I think the
problem is on Bezeq's side.
My system:
RedHat 7.0 with all the patches, etc. and 2.4.2 kernel, pppd 2.4.0.
Orkit ATUR3 ADSL modem connected to Barak.
