I've been using the kernel speedtouch driver, along with modem_run for a 
while now, and have generally been very happy with it.

However, what I have been suffering in silence is occasional PPP 
disconnects. I've never figured what causes them, and whether to 
complain to my ISP, or to discover if it's a problem with the drivers or 
my system.

I've a Speedtouch 330 (Silver), connected to a Suse 8.2 box. My PPP peer 
file reads:

========================================================================
lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
noauth
holdoff 10
maxfail 250
persist
asyncmap 0
lcp-echo-interval  2
lcp-echo-failure   7
name [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mtu 1492

plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so
0.38
========================================================================

The log info I get out of PPP for a connection when it mysteriously 
disconnects follows, I've not turned on PPP debugging yet, I can do that 
if you want:
