Thanks for the advice, I had tried all advice that I could find, including
increasing the timeout as you suggested. The problem had got so bad that I
could not connect through Linux at all and had to resort to using a win98
machine to use the Internet . I have finally resolved it with some help from
the btinternet.linux group which I have just come across. I changed the last
line from
'CONNECT' '' to 'CONNECT '\c'. Thanks to the faq by Colin Brough. It all now
works perfectly, though the ISP(btinternet) denies making any changes and my
machine config has been static.
Regards, Martin Hogg

... this indicates that the remote PPPD has not finished starting
up (perhaps it is under a heavier load than previously -- or was
at the ragged edge of working before, or both), and the terminal
handler is still echoing content being sent -- another like error
message is to the effect that the 'link is looped back.'
This information is buried in the man page for pppd, as I recall.
