I use the following script to reconnect an ADSL connection which falls over 
every now and then. It is run by CRON every 10 minutes. It is not the 
greatest script but it works.

You may be able to adapt the script to suit.

------------------------------ Reconnect_DSL.sh ------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to check if ADSL is disconnected & try reconnecting
#
result=$(cinternet -i dsl0 -s | grep disconnect)
if [ -n "$result" ]
then
        cinternet -i dsl0 -A
        sleep 10
else
        exit 0
fi
