I went to /var/spool and there was no "messages" file but, then I went to /var/log and there was a "messages" files.  So, what follows is some stuff that I cut out of the file.

The most likely cause of this behavior is that the system on the other end
drops you after some amount of idle time. But this is only a guess. To see
what's really going on, review the *complete* log of *one* pppd session (one
that experiences the idle timeout, of course) in /var/spool/messages . If
you don't have the experience to do this yourself, post a follow-up message
to the list with the log entries and, possibly, I or someone else will be
able to help you interpret them.
