Mr. Oliveira,

	Wrong list. Read the pppd documentation and find the name of the
pppd mailinglist.

	Anyway, you need to use 'lcp-max-configure' statement to increase the 
number of LCP Config-Requests pppd will send before it gives up. If it 
still doesn't work, the pppd on the other end is busted.
Use minicom to verify that you get various '}' gibberish when you log in
at the text prompt for your access server.
