I also get disconnected due to idle That happens when you are already connected to your ISP? Or you mean you telnet while not connected, but the modem does not dial? Check network routing (netstat -rn). The default entry should point towards your ISP. Use traceroute. Maybe it shows some problem somewhere. Also, you may use tcpdump to ensure that packets are passing through the intended interface (tun0). Check the ppp filters. Maybe they don't allow your packets to go out. In case of doubt, try erasing all current filters from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and putting just: set ifilter permit 0/0 0/0 set ofilter permit 0/0 0/0 set dfilter permit 0/0 0/0 set afilter permit 0/0 0/0 Note: maybe it's "allow", instead of "permit". I don't remember exactly.
