No, I will repeat what i wrote yesterday:

<quote>I think per the number one google hit on searching "LCP: timeout
sending Config-Requests ihug" you should try to turn up
"lcp-max-configure" - perhaps to double its current value, as well as
lcp-max-failure</quote>

The figures I am now suggesting that you change are lcp-max-configure
and lcp-max-failure. I think the earlier ones were lcp-echo-interval and
lcp-echo-failure
