you aren't reading the log correctly. read on to see what really
happened.

your pppd sent an EchoRep LCP packet. so far, so good.

KABOOM!
your pppd RECEIVED from the server an LCP TermReq packet. in plain
words, the server requested your pppd to terminate, by sending it a
termination request.
> Apr 12 19:07:11 shlomo1 pppd[2568]: LCP terminated by peer
your pppd is telling you that the peer (the remote server) asked for
termination.
> Apr 12 19:07:11 shlomo1 pppd[2568]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down started (pid 3097)
pppd is starting the script that is always launced when the connection
goes down. (it is NOT the script that causes the connection to go down)
> Apr 12 19:07:11 shlomo1 pppd[2568]: sent [LCP TermAck id=0xdf]
your pppd is acknoledging the termination request.

we are dead. game over.
