[Sheflug] dialup lockups

[Ross <nospam [at] ntlworld.com>]

hi,

can anyone help diagnose an intermitant problem with my dialup connection?

every now and then my connection hangs when running /etc/ppp/ip-up

looking at the logs, i get

Oct  5 14:21:36 localhost pppd[1566]: Starting link
Oct  5 14:21:37 localhost connect: Initializing Modem
Oct  5 14:21:37 localhost connect: Dialing system
Oct  5 14:21:58 localhost connect: Connected
Oct  5 14:21:58 localhost connect: Loggin in
Oct  5 14:22:02 localhost connect: Protocol started
Oct  5 14:22:02 localhost pppd[1566]: Serial connection established.
Oct  5 14:22:02 localhost pppd[1566]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
Oct  5 14:22:09 localhost pppd[1566]: Local IP address changed to 62.255.221.155
Oct  5 14:22:36 localhost pppd[1566]: CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests 

i run pppd in demand mode (gave up on diald!)
chat has the following options:

chat \
TIMEOUT 45 \
ABORT "NO CARRIER" \
ABORT BUSY \
ABORT "NO DIALTONE" \
ABORT "NO ANSWER" \
ABORT ERROR \
"" ATDT$PHONE_NUMBER \
CONNECT ""

can anyone tell me what CCP is and what config requests it makes?
