A LCP timeout on sending without any reply usually means that the chat
script didn't do the right thing to start PPP at the ISP. Use the chat
-v option and look for the chat messages to see what's happening. The
messages should be in a file in /var/log, /var/log/messages is popular.
Should you want an opinion from the group then post an exact copy of
the chat -v messages complete with timestamps, and the chat script.
