I was having that same problem. I fixed that by taking the passive out
of the /etc/ppp/options. It looks as if the process (when the connection
dies) is just waiting for it to start again and never ends. By taking
the passive out at lease the line is available for another connection.
Someone has to have a fix for this out there...
