ppp, by default, has no direct control over this.  The modem is
responsible for maintaining carrier.  Check your init strings.
(Possibly the default init string in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf changed at some
point, or your ISP changed their configuration.)  S10 (measured in
tenths of a second) controls how long of a loss of carrier is
tolerated.  14 (1.4 sec) is a common value.

Happy hacking,
