I saw the exact same behavior over the serial line.  I few the problem
is that ppp pushes select harder than any other application in the Hurd.
Which is to say: this is now a Hurd problem and not a ppp problem.  I
found that hitting enter on the ppp command prompt sometimes woke the
program up.

I have not seen this.  However, it could be the timeout that you choose.
By default it is 90 seconds or so.  Try `set timeout 0' and ppp will
never take down the link due to being idle.
