I am running the versin of SLIP that comes with Ultrix
on a DECStation and a VaxStation.  The VAXStation is
a remote site that is about 30 miles away and it is running
as the master.  The DECStation is the slave and is
here at our lab.  

I am looking for a shell script or c program that would detect 
when a hangup occured on either end and could attempt
to restart the whole process.  I would rather not write
this if it already existed.

I can't use PPP because I can't find one that runs on a
VAXStation that runs Ultrix.

Thanks
