Can I suggest that you do not touch the Pulsar.  It disconnects every 12 
minutes.  It has known problems that the company has not fixed in months.

Here is the ipcop log and the ipcop ppp log after that.

17:53:31 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0
18:09:23 ipcop PPP has gone down on ppp0
18:09:43 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0
18:51:05 ipcop PPP has gone down on ppp0
18:51:22 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0
18:54:22 ipcop PPP has gone down on ppp0
18:54:42 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0
19:07:43 ipcop PPP has gone down on ppp0
19:08:00 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0
19:20:00 ipcop PPP has gone down on ppp0
19:20:26 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0
19:48:43 ipcop PPP has gone down on ppp0
19:49:00 ipcop PPP has gone up on ppp0

the ppp logs show the following:

18:54:40 pppd secondary DNS address 158.152.1.58
19:07:40 pppd No response to 3 echo-requests
19:07:40 pppd Serial link appears to be disconnected.
19:07:46 pppd Connection terminated.
19:07:46 pppd Connect time 13.1 minutes.
19:07:46 pppd Sent 7911379 bytes, received 17892378 bytes.
19:07:54 pppd Hangup (SIGHUP)
19:07:54 pppd ioctl(TIOCSETD, N_TTY): Interrupted system call
19:07:55 pppd Using interface ppp0

Kind regards
