Have a look in the modem manual (I havn't got one handy at the moment).
There's a register setting (around S9 or S13 or something) that controls
how long carrier can be lost before the modem hangs up. If you've got
a bad phone line, this value will need to be greater than 7/100 seconds
(or whatever the default is).
: 2. How do i specify modem characteristics to the system?
I'm not sure what you mean - you can do AT commands in the
dial string (see /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample).

: contained in /etc/hosts file?
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
ifaddr 10.10.10.10/0 10.10.10.11/0 255.255.255.0
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
