Hmmmm... Well, that's news to me. I wasn't aware that pppd would redial. I thought that it just called whatever command that you gave it to connect and that was it. I know that chat is only as smart as the script you give it, so I just worked up my own redial script to use for the pppd connect command, and it just repeats the chat command until it exits with a status that indicates that it got through the whole script. I don't have it reestablish a connection after it drops though, because I don't always want my connection up regardless.
