ppp fails "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"
For the first time I'm having difficulty establishing Linux
ppp connections, with a recently opened ISP account.
pppconfig has done well enough on my numerous previous
setups, with only an occasional script tweak, that I've
never had to debug Linux ppp connections before. If I keep
trying (without changing my config) I eventually get a good
connection, ~1 in 4 times.
kernel 2.0.36 pppd version 2.3 patch level 5
(I have also tried kernel 2.2.10 pppd 2.3.8; in that case,
only ~1 in 10 attempts is successful.)

A successful connection for comparison:
