PPP Problem

Hi

I have 2 servers connected to eachother via an analogue line.  Both
servers and modems are working fine except for 1 problem.  Now and then
when I have a line drop, the server that is initiating the connection
goes through the entire ppp startup, but does not go through the IP
allocation phase, it gets connected, but does not get allocated an IP.
It's almost as if PPP forgets to initiate the tcp connection.  How can I
enable this as a requirement.

Thanks

Mark

Below are excerpts from my ppp.conf files

Initiating server:
direct-think:
  set dial ""
  set line /dev/cuaa0
  set sp 38400
  set timeout 0
  set reconnect random 50
  set log Phase Chat LQM
  set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: pppthink word:
12345"  add! default hisaddr  enable lqr
  accept lqr
  set ifaddr 10.0.21.14 10.0.21.13 255.255.255.252 
  set server /tmp/ppp-think "" 0177 # The diagnostic port (-rw------)



Receiving server:
pppthink:
 set timeout 0
 set lqrperiod 90
 set log Phase LQM
 set ifaddr 10.0.21.13 10.0.21.14 255.255.255.252 
 enable lqr
 accept lqr
 enable proxyall
 enable dns
