I was using the watch wvdial command as an example

The problem is with the ADSL connection, so assuming I use pppeoconf
how does it work at restarting a stopped / interupted network
connection without user intervention.

Second unless i use a GUI frontend how will i know that a network
connection is operational, in Ubuntu 7.10 i use pppoeconf but have to
keep pinging an address to know its operational.
