@Desi-Tek.com: Check the contents of your /etc/ppp/options file. If you have anything like lcp-echo-failure mentioned in the file then delete that line and any others related to lcp. If you don't know how to edit the file manually then post the contents here and one of us will tell you how to do it correctly or else you might create more problems for yourself.
As for your NTFS problem. You don't need a new version of distro...you need a new kernel. Just download the kernel source from
www.kernel.org and compile one yourself.
