It's nothing to do with CHAP. You're not getting a login prompt from the ISP. Try
connecting interactively with minicom or kermit.
It may be a timeout problem because they insist on sending a screen full of line feeds
which takes time. Maybe you could alter your chat script to expect one 24 times, and
after that start looking for 'ogin:'. By the way, you should expect 'ogin:', not
'login:', in case it's 'Login:'.
