Delay reconnect attempts after WAN drops?

Is there any way to delay the WAN reconnect? We're running 1.3b4 on a Soekris 4521, behind the ISP provided DSL modem (an ancient Westel). They've got us on a dynamic IP using PPPoE. It's been great for a year or so, unless the telco has trouble and lets the connection drop. In that case, it appears that the m0n0wall box is trying to reconnect too quickly. I've had it sit all weekend long, reconnecting over and over again. If I power off the DSL modem or unplug the phone line for a minute or so, the next reconnect works and we're good for a few more weeks. Thoughts? Here's a piece of the logfile showing the retries: Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] device: DOWN event in state OPENING Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] link: DOWN event Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Down event Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 4 seconds before open Sep 12 09:42:42 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:46 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:46 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 1 seconds before open Sep 12 09:42:46 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:47 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:47 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state OPENING Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] device: DOWN event in state OPENING Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] link: DOWN event Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Down event Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 4 seconds before open Sep 12 09:42:56 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:00 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:00 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 1 seconds before open Sep 12 09:43:00 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:01 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:01 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] device: DOWN event in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] link: DOWN event Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Down event Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 4 seconds before open Sep 12 09:43:10 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:14 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:14 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 2 seconds before open Sep 12 09:43:14 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:16 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:16 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] device: DOWN event in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] link: DOWN event Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Down event Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 4 seconds before open Sep 12 09:43:25 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:29 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:29 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 1 seconds before open Sep 12 09:43:29 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:30 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:30 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] device: DOWN event in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] link: DOWN event Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Down event Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] pausing 6 seconds before open Sep 12 09:43:39 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:45 mpd: [pppoe] device: OPEN event in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:45 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:54 mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Sep 12 09:43:54 mpd: [pppoe] device: DOWN event in state OPENING Sep 12 09:43:54 mpd: [pppoe] device is now in state DOWN Sep 12 09:43:54 mpd: [pppoe] link: DOWN event Sep 12 09:43:54 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Down event thanks, newell
