Slack/PPP: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

[David Jackson <david.jay.jackson@wcox.com>]

Howdy --
This one is driving me crazy, I've never had a problem with ppp
connection on Slack-8 before.
What's even more puzzling is It was working on an install which hung
while trying to make bookdisk?
But after *completing* a reinstall, it doesn't? I've tried PAP and CHAP
(pap works on Debian and Redhat). Note it connect, but doesn't add
routing for IP assigned by ISP?

TIA,
David

I'm using a USRobotics external modem.

Here's the error messages:

slacker:root >> ppp-go
/etc/ppp
slacker:root >> Serial connection established.

Here's my options.
