I'm running Squeeze on a P3 board and dialup.
My modem gets hungup after 2.5 minutes about 30% - 40% of the time I

transactions going to the modem which is on ttyS2? Something like
script but for a serial port?
If you can find a PPP conf file or, maybe, a dialup or chat conf file,
perhaps even an LCP conf, and set logging to debug or verbose, then
that might bring the first clues for whatever condition the link is
getting into.
I found some old notes from the time I had problems with dial-up links
resetting. My Wheezy system seems to use
/etc/ppp/options for various settings, including logging.
I suggest you change the entry in /etc/ppp/options for logging,
uncommenting the debugging logging level:
#debug
to become
debug
There are a number of other quite-powerful options in that file, but
which shouldn't be touched (yet). Once the reason that PPP is
dropping the link becomes clear, then it is possible that a settings
change in this file might fix it.
See what that ppp log now tells you about the link reset or
disconnection. Further checks will then be needed.
If you're feeling you need to understand more,
man pon, and
man pppd
expose you to a lot of detail.
