Hmm.. *racks brains*

Check all your ppp options.

Does your ISP only accept PAP/CHAP?  Can you dial in and run PPP
completely manually?

When I've had LCP timeout request errors, it has been because my
PPP and their PPP were not negotiating.

While I was setting up, it was my PPP not having suitable
options, I ran PPP manually as per the howto and got it working,
then I could do it automatically.

Nowadays it's because I have a fixedIP and if that isn't available
cos my old PPP is hanging around, PPP gets upset.

So... check with your ISP about what you should be doing, if
you need PAP or CHAP.  

If not, then follow the instructions in the PPP HOWTO and see
what happens.
