Ok, I use to got the same problem when use 'pppconfig'.
Some files needs some improvement.
First file '/etc/ppp/peers/adsl'
--------------------------------
# This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.07.
#
#
hide-password
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/adsl"
#/dev/ttyS1
#115200
debug
kdebug 1
noipdefault
defaultroute
pty "/usr/local/bin/pppoa2 -vpi 8 -vci 35"
sync
user "..."
novjccomp
noaccomp
nopcomp
nomagic
noccp
asyncmap 0
usepeerdns
holdoff 1
persist
maxfail 0
#lcp-echo-interval 600
lcp-echo-interval 0
#lcp-echo-failure 10
lcp-echo-failure 25
ipparam adsl
--------------------------------
'lcp-echo ...' lignes to avoid break of connexion.
I'm not aware about the settings, but it works, so ...
A bad 'chatscript', here is mine I modified.
# This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.07.
# Please do not delete any of the comments. Pppconfig needs them.
#
# ispauth CHAP
## abortstring
##ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT
'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
## modeminit
##'' ATZ
## ispnumber
##OK-AT-OK ATDTreplace_with_number
## ispconnect
##CONNECT \d\c
# prelogin
# ispname
# isppassword
# postlogin
# end of pppconfig stuff
With that everything is allright for me (Debian Sid up to date, kernel
2.4.3)
J�r�me.
