I am not looking for multiple options with which pppd needs to try. Let me give an example, normally if auth fails...it will retry after 'a' seconds for 'n' number of times. What I would need is say it should try after 'a' seconds for first retry, after '2a' seconds for second try after first retry fails and so on..etc. Basically I want to change the retry mechanism. Is there a way to change without changing the code ? thanks.
