What about your smb.conf? (global section) add a
interfaces = your.eth0.ip.adress/bis_in_netmask
this stops samba from dialing out. (leaves talk on ports 13x within the
local net and stops senseless requests to the outside world)
make sure, all local adresses are somehow resolved. (stops name server
requests)

Don�t know. Id suggest to use the old ppp-up script and add an echo
request to the pppd-options to force the connection up
#....
/usr/sbin/pppd lock \
connect \
'/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/ppp.chat' \
$device $pppflags $localip:$remoteip \
lcp-echo-interval 20 \
lcp-echo-failure 5
