Better: ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT VOICE ABORT BUSY "" ATZ OK ATDT7454342 CONNECT "" host: \dppp login \damwalker password \d\qpassword This tells chat to: a) Abort on receipt of the report strings "NO DIALTONE", "NO CARRIER", "VOICE", or "BUSY". b) Expect nothing and send ATZ, resetting the modem to its default state. This is usually factory programmed to the best configuration for ppp. If yours is different, replace "ATZ" with an appropriate init string. c) Expect "OK", which is what a reset modem should say, and send the phone number. d) Expect "CONNECT", which is what the modem says when it gets carrier, and send nothing. e) Expect the string "host:" and send "ppp" after a 1 second delay (the "\d" tells chat to delay 1 second). f) Expect "login" and send "amwalker" after a 1 second delay. g) Expect "password" and send the password after a 1 second delay, and don't write it to the log file (the "\q" suppresses writing to the log). I put the one second delays in because I've found that some isp's can't handle an immediate response. I left out the "\q" after the password because it doesn't belong there. Its presence in the example file is an error. You should also test to see if your isp supports pap. To do this just delete everything on the chatscript after the word "CONNECT", set up your pap-secrets file, and try it. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
