I had that problem with debian. I had to change an option in the ppp config 
file by hand.

It was a option that send an authentation signal to the isp. Can`t remember 
the exact option. try `man ppp` and look for something that fits.

I think what is happening is the modem get a connection and the isp is waiting 
for your computer to send something to the isp, your computer doesn`t, and 
after a while it logs you off.

Hope this helps as i don`t use debian at the moment, but i dabbled for a 
while, then back to RedHat.
