ppp(8) on 9.2 not redialling when the link drops

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I have a site with a pretty standard ADSL PPPoE connection, however when the link drops out I get the following..

Dec  3 10:15:17 gateway ppp[39988]: Phase: Chap Input: SUCCESS
Dec  3 10:15:17 gateway ppp[39988]: Phase: deflink: lcp -> open

Dec 17 00:22:47 gateway last message repeated 37 times
Dec 17 00:32:56 gateway last message repeated 38 times


and it keeps printing that until I restart PPP.

ppp.conf looks like

default:

isp:
 set server /var/run/ppp password 0177
 set device PPPoE:em1:
 set authname username
 set authkey password
 set ifaddr 0/0 0/0
 set mru 1492
 set mtu 1492
 set speed sync
 enable lqr
 enable echo
 set lqrperiod 3
 set cd 5
 set dial
 set login
 set redial 10 0
 set timeout 0
 set ifqueue 5
 add! 0/0 HISADDR

Does anyone see the same? And better yet does anyone have a solution?

For now I have set a script to ping an outside host every hour and restart PPP if it fails but it would be nice if ppp(8) DTRT.
