Okay, the probable difference between our two setups is that I'm using
demand-dial.  I really could have sworn, however, that persist redialed
if the chat script failed no matter what.  I'll check this again when I
get home.

I think you would need both sides to implement it, especially the remote
site if you're doing a lot of ftping to your machine.

I have pretty good success with setting the mtu/mru down low (296) --
interactive traffic is still reasonable while ftping.
