I have the following problem with a 56K external modem (actually tried more of them, with the same results):
After making the connection to my ISP with KPPP or wvdial and browsing (with Mozilla or Konqueror, no difference in behavior) for a certain amount of time (which varies from a few seconds to a few minutes), I receive ppp error 16 telling "the pppd daemon died unexpectedly".
It seems from the logs that the other side disconnects because of protocol problems.
I'm doing all this with root account. Tried with Mandrake 9.1, Knoppix 3.2, Red Hat 9.0 and SuSE 8.2 - the same happens. Tried on 3 different PCs - the same.
If no data is transferred, disconnection does not happen.
Here's what the log says:
