Yes ! It have the -persists option !!! At the moment I use
iijppp with the -auto option for a modem callback. But if
if I lost connection while a ftp transfer over the modem
line iijppp does not restart the modem connection. iijppp
just terminate . If I have only a ping or telnet session
over the modem line iijppp restarts the connection.
I hope pppd (with the -persists option) will fix this.
