In /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider, add the options "persist", and "maxfail
x", with x being the number of retries.
>From 'man pppd':
"persist:
Do not exit after a connection is terminated; instead try to reopen the
connection. The maxfail option still has an effect on persistent
connections."
and
"maxfail n:
Terminate after n consecutive failed connection attempts. A value of 0
means no limit. The default value is 10."
Have fun,
Mario
