Since User PPP simply uses chat scripting you can do something like this.
For example my terminal server takes between two and three returns to
wake it up so in my login I have the following:
TIMEOUT 5 ...-\\r-...-\\r-...-\\r-...
Which tells it to expect a ... which is my terminal servers prompt and if
it doesn't get it to send a return and to send a total of 3 returns before
giving up.
