If you've actually gotten Enternet(the PPPOE software Mindspring
supplies for Linux) to work(it didn't work on my Slackware 7.0 box),
you can try adding the 'persist' option to pppd(see man pppd).

I get the impression(from the internal mindspring.users.adsl and
mindspring.users.linux newsgroups) that most of the Linux users who are
using Mindspring's ADSL are using the Roaring Penguin PPPOE client (see
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe.html).  I'm using that, and yes, it
does do re-connect on drop.
