I've seen this as well, but I don't believe that message is what is causing the 
modem hangup. If I remember correctly, the setup I'm using (with a TS-GSM1 on a 
TS-7260) shows the "kernel does not support PPP filtering" message as a 
warning, but it still successfully connects. I would guess something else is 
wrong -- maybe the wrong APN or username? Interesting, though, since it does 
say PAP authentication succeeded.

The one time I saw this, it was because I had LCP echo requests turned on but 
the provider (AT&T) wasn't responding to them so pppd was disconnecting itself, 
thinking the connection was lost. I turned them off in ppp.conf by commenting 
out the lcp-echo-interval and lcp-echo-failure options in /etc/ppp/options. 

However, it's impossible to know for sure what's going on unless you turn on 
all the pppd debugging options to see exactly what is getting sent and received 
by the modem. I can't remember exactly how to do this off the top of my head, 
but make sure you have the debug option enabled in the ppp options and make 
sure nolog is commented out. Then, start syslogd (you may have to swap 
/etc/syslog.conf and /etc/syslog.conf-debian first, so things actually get 
logged--the default syslog.conf doesn't do anything in order to reduce wear on 
your CF/SD/whatever card), then try to open the ppp connection (ifup ppp0). 
Hopefully one of the log files in /var/log will be populated with all kinds of 
interesting ppp information. It might give a hint as to why the connection is 
dropping.
