any errors in syslog about it?
if not, enable pppd debugging ('debug' option in /etc/ppp/options
I think) and do it again and see what errors you get.
if it's only after 1 min, sounds like you're not authenticating
properly or the lcp echo timeout things are disconnecting it.
Read up on lcp echo timeout/interval options to pppd if that's
the case.
