Ok, it looks like I'm dropping the connection... I'm going to have to find
an instance in the log file where it's redialing frequently.
--excerpt from /var/log/ppp.log

Well, I looked my ppp.conf over and I feel like a total a$$. I was setting
the timeout var in the wrong spot (thought it was in default) and my timeout
was aparently set to 300.
Strange part is that this is the exact same config as before. Oh well,
sorry I bothered you all, looks like my problem is solved.
Thanks again,
Chris

Try ``set log phase lcp ipcp'' and then look for the Terminate
messages. If you see a SendTerminateReq first, ppp is terminating,
if you see RecvTerminateReq first, the peer is terminating and if you
see Disconnected! first, the line is losing carrier.
