I assume your refering to the USB Speedtouch modem.  I have the same, 
using PPPoA.  There have been various threads on this list about getting 
it to work.  The LCP timeouts occur when the modem hasn't been 
initialised correctly.  How are you loading the firmware?  This setup 
does work, and works well.  Are you using the SuSE setup or the 
SourceForge one?
