This happens because the peer hasn't said anything in the five
seconds you've been connected (``set openmode passive'' says to wait
for the peer to start talking and ``set stopped 5'' says to bring the
layer down if we find ourselves in the STOPPED state for 5 seconds).
Your login script looks suspect - it's always dangerous to have a
login script that sends your password and waits for no confirmation
of success (or failure). Isn't there something you can ``expect'' ?
Try increasing your ``set stopped'' value to (say) 20 and see if that
helps.
