I'd try removing this. Dial-up connections are not too reliable so
it is possible you didn't experiment enough to ensure that this is
really needed.

This also happens to me sometimes. Since dial-up sometimes is slow to
connect or involves a retry the mail program may time out before the
connections is complete. Not too much you can do about it, although
it is possible that fine-tuning the diald/pppd scripts may result in
a more reliable, quicker connection (I doubt it!). Another possibility
is that the mail program mayhave an option for how long to wait before
giving up.

I believe these are normal. I see these messages and many people have
posted questions about them. I think I remember a response from diald's
author saying they were to be expected -- diald is just trying things
to see what the system needs/supports -- or something like that.
