LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

From Helpful

This, for me, came from the context of connecting to my ISP with an ADSL modem.

This is a pppd problem. It is not likely to be modem driver trouble.

If there is something else failing, say, you see "cannot stat() dev/pts/1" in your logs, you have some other problem.

If not, the problem is that pppd can't agree with the other end. For example, your pppd demands modem compression when that is impossible.

Fiddle with your ppp peers files. chances are you're using a stock one that doesn't work with your ISP without some tweaking. In the case of ADSL, particularly make sure the login, VPI and VCI settings are correct.
