By default pppd will suicide if there are 600s without traffic going through:
pppd[30575]: Terminating connection due to lack of activity.
pppd[30575]: Connect time 10.0 minutes.
pppd[30575]: Sent 0 bytes, received 0 bytes.
This is likely to happen when e.g. the system has both a mobile broadband
connection and an ethernet connection, as the ethernet will take the default
route.
So, avoid this behaviour by explicitly telling pppd not to exit if idle.
