ADSL Dial on demand

[LinuxNOOB]

Hi all,

I have configured my new linux router box to connect to the internet via my usb alcatel speedtouch adsl modem (using the drivers from speedtouch.sourceforge.net) I have also managed to setup IP routing etc.

What I now want to do is make sure that if my connection does go down that it is reconnected ASAP. Im guessing that my best bet is dial on demand, but I cant work out how to configure it.

Currently to run start my ADSL i run a script when entering init level 5 (./speedtouch start or ./speedtouch stop to close it down)

Can somone point me in the right direction or help me out getting it to keep trying to redial if it disconnects

Thanks in advance
Tim
