Subject:   dialup hangs after Password: prompt, timeout after 300 seconds

I searched the archives (questions, isp, hackers) and found a couple
other folks who have had the same problem over the past two years or
so. 

I dialup my box (2.2.1-RELEASE), it prompts for Login: and Password:
but doesn't respond after I type my password -- I don't even know if
it's listening to my password, since it doesn't echo it. After a
while, my modem connection disconnects:

    atdt [phone number]
    CONNECT 115200

    FreeBSD (Placebo.[domain]) (ttyd2)

    login: cshenton
    Password:Login timed out after 300 seconds

    NO CARRIER

Note that I'm not trying anything as clever as PPP yet. I *can* get in
via telnet (or even ssh) over the net just fine.

While the modems are still connected, the login process is running:

    178  d2  I<s+   0:00.19 login -p cshenton


Any thoughts? How did you folks who had this problem before solve it?

Thanks.
