Adding 'connect-timeout' as an option to diald solved the problem
at least for me:
/usr/sbin/ppp-up
----------------
#!/bin/sh
/bin/setserial /dev/cua1 spd_hi
/usr/sbin/diald /dev/cua1 -m ppp local 127.0.0.3 \
remote 127.0.0.2 \
defaultroute modem crtscts dynamic connect-timeout 180 \
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat-ppp' \
fifo /var/adm/diald.ctl
Adding the following entry at the end of /etc/diald.conf
also helped me out making the line keep up contiguously:
restrict * * * * *
up
