Edit your /etc/pp/options to include the following:
======
idle 300
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
======
idle (a number in seconds - I use 300 - 5 minutes)
the ipcp options tell your isp's and your machine to accept the ip
addresses as a given
Make sure you have the ppp timeout values in kppp setup set to a similar
number to the idle above, and the modem timeout value to something
sensible - again I use 60 seconds to cope with my noisy phone line.
There a bunch of ppp howtos out there with a great deal of this info in
them - I think the one that got me going the furtherest was titled
something like: "How to hook up ppp", I think the author was WG Unruh.
For massaging Kppp try: http://www.crosswinds.net/~beginnerslinux
I found this site very useful since way back in the days of LM6.5
Cheers
