My money is on LQM being enabled on the 4048 in Mod Config -> Answer

If it's anything like the slow login issue in NT4, it's going to be
related to the number of re-tries 95 makes to get MS-STAC compression
on the link.
Assuming this, 95 asks, the Max denies - and this goes round in a
loop until maximum retries on the 95 client are hit, at which point
95 gives up and goes onto IPCP.
I don't really see how Ascend can work around this, unless there is
some way of the Max saying "Sod off, I do not support MS-CHAP, don't
ask me again" to the 95 box, it will keep trying.
Just get them to switch it off.
