I am getting a strange problem with one of my isdn links.

I have a PM2E+5bri dialing out of an OR-U box both running 3.5 ComOS.
They connect through chap fine then 30 seconds to a minute later disconnect.
It appears as if the officerouter is sending the disconnect but I don't
see a reason why.

Surely someone out there has done this many times and can give me the some
clue of where to look.

Here is a quick setup as I have it.

PM2E Side dialout location IP 123.456.77.229
----------
pm1> show user houston
Username: houston Type: Dial-in Network User
Address: 123.456.78.2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Protocol: PPP Options: Broadcast, Listen, Compression
MTU: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Port Limit: 2 Idle Timeout: 0 minutes

pm1> show loc houston
Location: houston Type: Manual
Destination: 123.456.78.2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Protocol: PPP Options: Routing, Compression, Multilink
Group: 2 Max Ports: 1
Idle Timeout: 0 High Mark: 0 bytes
Mtu: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Username: pm1 Password: something
Telephone: 123456789

OR/U Side dial-in location IP 123.456.78.2
-----------

houston> show user pm1
Username: pm1 Type: Dial-in Network User
Address: 123.456.77.229 Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Protocol: PPP Options: Broadcast, Listen, Compression
MTU: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Port Limit: 2 Idle Timeout: 0 minutes
Session Lim: 1

Since this works but for short periods of time, I am at a loss to say why.
