Edit your /etc/netscripts/Dialin.login and make these changes to the last two 
lines

<-------- Start here --------------------------------->
#ifconfig $INTERFACE inet $LOCAL $REMOTE $* && exit 0
#exit 1
 
for i in x x x; do
   route delete $REMOTE
   ifconfig $INTERFACE inet $LOCAL $REMOTE $* && exit 0
done
ifconfig $INTERFACE inet $LOCAL -alias down
exit 1
<-------- End here ----------------------------------->

Note: The last two lines in the default Dialin.login are commented out 
above, the 6 lines following are added.  This fixed our problem immediately, 
we haven't had one single lost ppp connection since.
