Talk to your ISP.

Thanks for the prompt answer! I assume this is a feature of LCP and one
can't "fix" it in pppd, no?
Seems that creating some activity from cron is cheaper than talking to
the ISP :) .
With kind regards,
Baurjan.

It's not broken, this is how to terminate the connexion.

If the ISP knows a problem exists, then the problem can be fixed for
everyone.

I've already put fetchyahoo to my crontab. Thanks for the suggestion,
I'll try it on another system.
With kind regards,

It shouldn't. I'd be very suprised if LCP packet count towards keeping
the connexion alive.
Probably, the ISP has some reason for the decision to terminate idle
connexions. There is no substitute to talking about it with the ISP.
It's perfectly possible that hacking round it will violate the ISP's
Acceptable Use Pollicy and cause the service to be terminated.
Possibly, it's default setting nobody changed and the ISP will be happy
to fix the error.

You could put "persist" in /etc/ppp/options, so that when the
connection dies it automatically tries to reconnect.
