The ~ (tilde) is usually the first character of the incoming garbage that occurs when ppp starts on the remote machine. By waiting for it to be received, we know ppp has started on the remote machine.

+!!Reconnecting ppp when persist and maxfail, erm, fail
+
+Add a line like this to /etc/crontab:
+
+ * * * * * root if [[ "`/bin/pidof pppd`" == "" ]; then /usr/bin/pon paradise; fi
+
+This will check every minute to see if pppd is still running. If it's not, it will restart it (replace /usr/bin/pon paradise with whatever you need to do to restablish your connection)
+
+(Thanks to JamesSpooner for the most elegant solution)
