I'm running PPP 3.1 (/usr/sbin/ppp) on OpenBSD 3.7 / i386. Every now and then, I run into a problem in which the chat script stops working in -auto mode:

So why is it timing out in 13 seconds? If I go to terminal mode and let the modem connect manually, the rest of the chat script works fine. What key fact am I missing? Many thanks!
