We've been through a similar discussion and people back then also suggested the "ping method". I wonder what's wrong with "maxfail 0"+"persist"? It works for me for a few months now (not that my line is flaky, but I noticed that if and when it fails the line gets recovered without my intervention. I suppose it wouldn't cover the case of a crashed pppd, oh well. --Amos

Does eth0 go down or does the connection just cease? You could write a script that would ping some machine and resart the connection or bring up the interface if the ping doesn't answer.
