I'm still using the same modem > I've had for three or four years now. 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.
