Someone else just suggested fixing the "maxfail " parameter, which as a
default will stop trying after 10 failed connections. This looks to be
exactly my problem, but for some reason I had missed that parameter in the
man page. Setting "maxfail 0 " as an option should tell it to redial forever.
I don 't know if wvdial can handle *internal* ISDN adapters. Mine, however,
is external through a serial cable and handled through Hayes AT commands,
so wvdial absolutely refuses to accept that the modem connects without the
long analog handshake procedure and sits there. I 've tried it several times
and failed, always being forced to revert to pppd.
Thanks!
