Hello,

I've got another question related to running PPP for a PPPoE connection
via an ADSL modem. I am currently running ppp like this from my
/etc/rc.local file on our OpenBSD 3.4 firewall:

/usr/sbin/ppp -background pppoe

Is this the right method to run it ? I would like the connection to
always be open. Also what I am not sure about is that if it goes down I
would like it to reconnect immediately. Is this per default or do I need
to change some setting in ppp.conf maybe ?

Thanks again for the help
Regards
