keeping PPP alive

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
	No, sorry. Perhaps there is on slackware, but debian's ip-up
script has a different design. All it does is run things in ip-up.d and
there's nothing there to keep ppp alive. I'm going to try one of these
dynamic dns services, specifically yi.org. That's why I want it to be kept
alive.
