I have been erratic disconnections of ppp0. Sometimes ppp0 will remain active
for days at a time; other days, like yesterday, it'll have trouble staying
alive for more than several minutes. I could use some expertise on this one.
====
Log excerpt:
Jul 30 14:42:41 linux pppd[4202]: No response to 4 echo-requests
Jul 30 14:42:41 linux pppd[4202]: Serial link appears to be disconnected.
Jul 30 14:42:42 linux modify_resolvconf: restored /etc/
resolv.conf.saved.by.pppd.ppp0 to /etc/resolv.conf
Jul 30 14:42:42 linux pppd[4202]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down finished (pid
10075), status = 0x0
Jul 30 14:42:44 linux pppd[4202]: Connection terminated.

I am puzzled by the 'No response to 4 echo-requests' and what might be the
ultimate problem. When the connection is up, it works extremely well, as a
rule. I have a script running three times per hour which checks to make
certain I am still online. My belief is that this really shouldn't be
necessary.

Any useful info/speculation on why this may be happening will be deeply
appreciated.
