I fixed a lot of problems by downloading the ppp code from stable. In my 
case, I am using user ppp to connect our office LAN  to our ISP with this 
code and a patch from Nate Williams to allow the -ddial option, or 
dedicated dial mode.

It's been working great for 9 days now so I guess it'll stay that way. 
This way using the -ddial option  if the link goes down ppp detects it 
and immediately renegotiates the copnnection.

Cheers,
