Yes this is what I'm doing... Hopefully will have a complete solution (ppp
scripts plus /etc/rc.d/init.d/adsl to automatically start the connection on
bootup). Will post it here if I find it sufficiently generic and good for
common use.

try to use the ppd option to run a script when the ppp session terminates.
This script will kill the old pptp and start a new one ..

I did encounter that problem , but not after killall pptp . This is
something that has still to be fixed in the pptp though.

Haim,
Why does your connection die in the first place? Mine never does.
Maybe your ISP limits your idle time? try running something like xntp with
frequent updates, so it will keep the connection up?

Hello,
I'm trying to make my Linux box re-dial automatically if ADSL
connection dies. I often need to access my home computer from work, so
manual dialing is not an option.
The problem is, I don't know what happens on the Linux side if
connection dies... My first try is to create /etc/ppp/ip-down
