Probably just the ISP resetting your connection (BT do it to me
occasionally over my aDSL with a speedtouch USB). This is what I have in
my link files:


#ppp.linkup
MYADDR:
 ! sh -c "/sbin/route del default"
 ! sh -c "/sbin/route add default HISADDR"
 ! sh -c "/sbin/pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf -e"


#ppp.linkdown
MYADDR:
 ! sh -c "/sbin/pfctl -F all -d"
 

PPP *should* run the contents of those files when it reconnects.

HTH,

Mike.
