First, make sure your sendmail_flags entry in /etc/sysconfig looks
like:
sendmail_flags="-bd"
Leave out the "-q30m", otherwise, sendmail will cause your network
link to start up every 30 minutes.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to set up PPP filtering to have it
*not* connect with certain kinds of packets---the kinds that cause the
link to start up. I've never done this, but I'm sure someone on the
list has. Also see the file /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.filter.sample.
