re,

FreeBSD 2.1.5R, ppp user mode. dial-on-demand.
 
I use ppp to connect to a office via my modem. This seems to work
fine in that it sets up the IP connection correctly. My problem is
that after a few hours ppp dies with following lines in ppp.log:

10-03 21:33:56 [137] Phase: Dead
dial OK!
10-03 21:47:47 [137] SIGHUP
10-03 21:47:47 [137] *Connected!
10-03 21:47:48 [137] PPP Terminated.

Or:

10-04 15:13:36 [137] Phase: Dead
dial OK!

And nothing!

`ps ax | grep ppp` not show ppp process, but file
/var/run/PPP.demand is present...

Why?

Part of my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 38400
 deny lqr
 disable lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK \\dATDP\\T TIMEOUT 90 CONNECT"

system:
 set phone 326354
 disable pap
 deny pap
 accept chap
 set authname xxxxx
 set authkey  xxxxx
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: xxxxx word: xxxxx"
 set timeout 90
 deny pred1
 disable pred1
 set ifaddr xx.xx.xx.30 xx.xx.xx.29 255.255.255.252
