Make sure you connect as "root", i. e. sudo su
the timeout you are experiencing can be better seen if you connect in an rxvt, so
the error messages can be seen. It's probably a permission thing, and connecting as root fixes that.  Worth a try, anyway.

St_Slava;  It could also be your PAP settings, password, username.  There appears to be no feedback when a connection is made so give it a few seconds after the modem quits chirping and type 'route' to check if a connection has been established.

I have two ISA modems that were recognized without a problem.
I have two other PCI modems that are not recognized. One of them is on ttyS4 (used with Mandrake).
There is only 4 choices with DSL (ttyS0 through 3), how can I set more serial ports? In Mandrake, I used setserial.

I found it a little annoying to enter my connection name every time I would go on the internet, so I wrote a menu item to make the process a little easier. The menu file can be accessed by typing the following command in bash:
sudo -u root scite "/home/damnsmall/.fluxbox/menu"

Once the menu file is opened, the menu line to add is:
[exec] (Connect) {sudo -u root /usr/bin/pon ISP}

Replace ISP by the name you gave to your connection during PPPdial config.
The menu item will appear as "Connect".

Now what I would like to do next is launch my favorite browser automatically after the connection is successful. I am too new to Linux to come up with that script, but I am working on it!

Now regarding editing the menu, you may add the following line to the menu file:
[exec] (DamnSmallMenu) {sudo -u root scite "/home/damnsmall/.fluxbox/menu"}

.... but I am getting a little out of topic here ...

You will need to alter your modem initialization string.

See this for an example:

And this for the full modem instruction set:
