I have the same problem.
I found that some sites continue to send to me ICMP packets.
This keeps the connection alive.
Unfortunately I don't know how to filter these packets with linux.
Sometimes I have to shutdown the pppd to break the connection.
Other comments may be more helpful (also for me!).
