  if you were able truly 'connect' & get online, then the remote modem pool is crowded. If the modem pool is hybrid in terms of supported rate (and/or noisy line), lower your rate to 38400 (28.8K modem) may 'broaden your horizon". 

  if  you are not truly 'online' even for that brief few minutes, then the dial-up failed to get a 'CONNECT' string from the remote site,  the time-out from the Expect-style expect.  couldn't exactly recall the details now (last time I dialed were in Y2000), but PPP dial-up differs from a regular dial-up session, in that one should  not expect a 'CONNECT'' string. 
  hope these remarks somehow helped :)

    then, I'm connected for, at most, only a couple of minutes and the logs show
    [after bein' dumped back off-line]:


        .
        .
        Chat: Expect(40) : CONNECT
        Chat: Expect  timeout
        Warning: Chat script failed 
        Phase: deflink:  dial  ->  hangup
        Phase: deflink:  Disconnected!
        .
        .

    I would send the entire log file but it's on the computer tryin' to dialup
    and I'm typing
    what hopefully is the essence of what's happening. 

    The pertaining lines, are:

    set phone #########
    set ifaddr 0 0
    add 0 0 HISADDR
    set authname ~~~~~~~~
    set authkey #######
    default:
        set log Phase Chat IPCP tun command
        set device /dev/cuaa1 
        set speed 15200
        set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 40 \
            \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
        set timeout 180
        disable ipv6cp

    Appreciatively,
    Courtney
