Cool. In your first posting, you mentioned you had trouble with
the CompuServe setup example not working for Earthlink. After
setting up for Earthlink, do you have suggestions for improving
or adding to the docs? Jacques is really good about incorporating
suggestions.

Do not exit after a connection is terminated;
instead try to reopen the connection.
So if you have the "persist" keyword in your /etc/ppp/options file
as described at
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bumodem.html
, the router should automatically redial. Somebody with Bering
PPP experience, please collect me if I am mis-speaking. You can
also setup demand dialing, if you prefer, by replacing "persist"
with "demand" and adding an "idle <sec>" entry as described in
the same doc.

Glad to help. I just read the PPP configuration information from
the URL above. It seemed to do a fair job of describing the
differences between the Compuserve example and providers using
PAP like Earthlink. I am probably biased from having some Linux
PPP experience though. If you have suggestions for improving the
docs, send them to the list. Jacques is good at incorporating
them.
