Below system -->admin-->network I include the ppp0 properties put to retry if the connection breaks or else fails to start. It does retry if the connect fails to start but not if the connection breaks.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04. The aspect used to work fine for me in Ubuntu 6.04 Ubuntu 7.04 Ubuntu 8.04. My economical dialup source ought to get overloaded at times as well as throws connections off.

Any suggestions.
