I've timed it on the San Jose preferred number, and have consistently
clocked approx. 35 seconds for the ppp "verifying user name and password".
The delay doesn't occur when logging into my shell account, so there's
something interesting going on elsewhere.   All things considered, though,
the 35 sec. delay is a small price to pay for the greatly improved
performance (connect speed = 48k, line quality under 30, no disconnects).
