- All I did was add the CD option to the ppp config line. When
- my computer crashes or whatever, I just reboot and execute
- startnet again. When it sees that a carrier is still
- present, it just renegotiates the dynamic IP address and away
- I go. Of course, I've set my modem to ignore DTR with the
- AT&D0 command. I am using PPP 1.45 registered and AmiTCP
- 4.3.
