In the setup section of kppp you should increase the timeout values, I
use 130 seconds for modem timeout, and set the guardtime value in modem
commands to 255.
Also add the following to your /etc/ppp/options file:
idle <some value in seconds> I use 300
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
In most cases these changes will prevent many of those failures, _BUT_
be aware that many of the failures when using dail-up are due to
variations in line quality.
Cheers
