Do your logs say why the disconnect happened? Did the other side hang
up on you, or did you hang up on them? Are you using diald, and is it
bringing the connection down prematurely? If you continually open and
close a separate connection during the transfer, does it keep it alive?
That's all I can think of.

You might tell him why it's needed. :)
I can't think why a bad asyncmap setting could cause any problem, except
to slow the connection down. "asyncmap 0" causes your PPP connection to
allow any and all control characters, rather than escaping them, which
causes more data to be sent on average.

Good advice. :)
Warning: Don't just blindly post the debug messages here, because your
PPP password might appear therein. Go and edit it out first, if you
want to post them here for some comments.
