The peer has disappeared !  You need to talk to your ISP and ask them 
why their ppp server died (you'll probably need to get them to enable 
some logging at their end before connecting).

The only thing you can do from your side is ``enable lqr'' so that 
ppp knows when this has happened and hangs up or redials based on 
your ``set redial'' command.

You can do other things like enabling async logging and looking for 
hdlc errors, but I'd bet you'll find that traffic is going out, but 
nothing's coming back !

You could also try ``disable vj'' and ``deny vj'', but I suspect it 
won't make a difference.
