LCP - line control protocol?
Those errors I thought are typically caused by the ISP not
responding to authentication requests before timeout.
Solution: increase timeouts.
However, you say *sending* config requests - perhaps it's something else
entirely, like the modem in fact not exchanging any data at all with the
ISP, and this LCP thing is the first step and therefore the one to fail.
