modem is still synchronized, atm link remain, is it not the physical layer?
Such PPPoA case was working well for me with ppp-2.4.1 and a pppoatm.so
plugin.
But as there was sometime a problem with pppoe (and some usb modem driver
don't know to synchronise by themself, some other time usb harware has bug),
I made an ugly hack wich is a bit more complicated than restart the
connection when it goes down.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ipcop/ipcop/src/rc.d/Attic/rc.connectioncheck?rev=1.4.2.22&only_with_tag=IPCOP_v1_4_0&view=markup
It is a sum of various hack, it may have some races, it is not very
interactive user friendly due to the numerous wait.
But it does reconnect in every cases I know (ppp-2.4.3 is used without
persist option).
