Well the reason I did it this way is to ensure that it would always
reconnect. I presume that inittab is not better insurance though then a
looping script?? If the link goes down it must reconnect. Historically I
have been doing this in inittab and it works well. The difference though
is that I now have only one static IP address and before PPP comes up the
system does not know that address. Before I had an ethernet card that had
that IP address and a netmask of 8 addresses, so bind knew the system IP
before PPP started.
