Yes, I had problems with pppd 2.2.0f and NT Workstation 4 as the
client. Same simptoms as yours (timeout waiting for ...).

I solved the problem by specifing the address of the DNS server
manually, and not with the "dns-address" option in /etc/ppp/options.
Don't ask me why it works this way.

Please let me know if you solvethe problem with this.

Good luck.
