st: transformation of variables

Hi,
I am running a regression model and the Rampsey Reset Test tells me  
that my model is not correctly specified.
I am guessing that there might be a non-linear relation between my  
dependent variable and some of my independant variables. Since my  
model is too big I cannot use graphs to find the "right" relation or  
transformation for my variables.
Is there any way that I can use the ladder-command to get a suggestion  
from stata how to transform my variables in order to meet the  
linearity assumption?
Or do I just have to try all the possible transformations and re-run  
the regression and the Reset-Test?
Thanks a lot & Best Regards,
Cornelia Haag
