Check out the man page on pppd concerning
lcp-echo-failure/lcp-echo-interval and modem options.  These can cause
that kind of problem.  You might try using minicom to dial in and telnet
around for a few min's to see if it's on the server side.  Although it
could be ppp related.  That will at least remove the obvious.
