This is what I do...
1) Set up standard ppp-on and pp-on-dialer scripts and make sure they work
fine.
2) Create a script (I put it in /usr/local/scripts) like this...
#!/bin/bash
#
LOCKDIR=/var/lock
DEVICE=cua1
if [ -f $LOCKDIR/LCK..$DEVICE ]
then
rm -f $LOCKDIR/LCK..$DEVICE
echo "Removing stale lock files"
fi
while sleep 5; do
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_vhi
/etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-ipax-perm
rm -f $LOCKDIR/LCK..$DEVICE
done
As I have a permanent link, I fire this off in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. If
the link fails, this script will simply fire it up again.
