Hi,

in case NM and ppp configure options look normal my suggestion for
narrowing down the problem would be to use the pppd command line
from the NetworkManager log without the "plugin
/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/nm-pppd-plugin.so" part and check if pppd also times out
when you start it manually. If it does try adding the options read from
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs one after another. A common problem with some TS 27.060
IP relay implementations in mobiles is the lack of proper VJ/CCP support.
Please try adding novj noccp first.

Reinhard
