Hi all.

I was wondering if there's anyway to get linux (specifically ipppd) to 
re-connect to Freeserve Time when ever they disconnect me after 10 minute/2 
hours or whatever?

At the moment, I've set the dialmode to be auto, but I can't garauntee <sp?> 
that it will be connected when I try to connect from the internet.

The ip isn't a problem as I use a dynamic host name through dyndns.org etc.

Any ideas would be helpful.
