I often see this I've had this since the 2.2.2 days when I first started running ppp. After a while (hours, days, weeks - random) either carrier isn't noticed as being missing, or all outgoing packets don't cross the serial cable to to the other side. After a while I kinda gave up. I now every few minutes fping a few hosts on the nearby remote side. If they _all_ fail (a good 10 second timeout is given) then I kill -9 the ppp session, wait 2 seconds, then restart ppp. It's caught every strange random bug on either side soon enough that I no longer have to try and call home and walk the wife through ppp..
