Description
the "persist" pppd option does not work with gsm muxer. after a voice call ends (while connected to gprs with pppd), pppd dies as the muxed modem device used by pppd gets destroyed.
attached is a nasty hack in the /usr/bin/p script to emulate pppd persistence

the attached script is tested with muxer and persistence; when pppd dies after a voice call, the script restarts pppd, getting the new device from the muxer.
incoming calls do not work while pppd is running ("person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable" - as if the phone was not registered with the network), although this seems unrelated to the p script, probably a bug in the muxer (incoming text messages are incoming connections, so those are not working too).
I am also unable to send text messages, although this seems altogether unrelated to gsm muxer.
