Have you watched the modem lights (if any) to check for telltale periodic stuff getting send when the line is supposed to be idle? Are you getting any sort of "keepalive" packets from your provider? The only further suggestion I can make is to run tcpdump on the interface and try to find out what you are getting or sending that is holding open the line. On my system (with the filters you now have), ppp drops the line religiously after five minutes go by. - Gene
