To keep my connection established, I have a cron job that checks my mail every 10 minutes with popclient. If you setup ppp or pppd to dial on demand, this checking of mail will cause the connection to re-open if it gets dropped. The max down-time would be 10 minutes, but you could make the cron job run at lesser intervals. Instead of checking your mail, you could have cron run ping sending one packet to a host in the outside world, thereby causing ppp or pppd to re-establish your connection automatically.
