SHOULDN'T use pump? I disagree.
Pump is configurable: /etc/pump.conf
You can put entries in there to tell it to increase the number of retries
and the timeouts. Once I did this, pump works just fine, from several
different locations with several different DSL providers.
Example of /etc/pump.conf
device eth1 {
retries 3
timeout 90
}
There are more parameters available, too. Check out man pump for full
set.
As I said, pump.conf cleared up any problems I had with establishing and
keeping leases.
The advantage of pump is that it's part of the standard vanilla Red Hat
distro, which I've tried to maintain in my many installations.
