I am having trouble with my pppoe0 connection. I have followed the
instructions that I found at
"http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/pppoe/". However, my adsl
provider loves to change my IP address and when this happens my
connection obviously goes down but the problem is it won't come back up.
If have followed the section on "Setup a line that is always connected"
but when I get disconnected my machine will not reconnect. If I poke the
machine everything comes back up properly.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ................ Reagan
