Try enabling daemon.debug in /etc/syslog.conf, then start up 'pppd' with
the 'debug' option. You may see that you're asking the peer to do
something it's not prepared to do. The result is that the so-called ccp
"negotiation" turns into a nag session! OTH, if you modify your starting
position to one closer to what the peer expects, the "negotiations" go
much more smoothly, and that means the whole process is less likely to
time out. A reasonable starting point would be to use "nobsdcomp nodeflate
vj-max-slots 16".
