All you need is to set a default (static) route pointing to your ISP's gateway. As to the timeout's, check the value of "timeout" in /etc/ppp.conf. If none exists, add one by entering a line "set timeout ", where is the number in SECONDS to keep the connection alive beforre killing it. 0 means forever.
