Thanks, As near as i can tell (Got the modem as "not intended for individual sale ;) i have a USRobotics Sportster 56K Internal Data/Fax. When connecting, these lines appear in the log: Aug 20 19:36:30 anomie chat[326]: expect (CONNECT) Aug 20 19:36:30 anomie chat[326]: ^M Aug 20 19:36:50 anomie chat[326]: ATDT6869855^M^M Aug 20 19:36:50 anomie chat[326]: CONNECT Aug 20 19:36:50 anomie chat[326]: -- got it Aug 20 19:36:50 anomie chat[326]: send (^M) Aug 20 19:36:50 anomie chat[326]: expect (ogin:) Aug 20 19:36:50 anomie chat[326]: 49333/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS^M Chat breaks as soon as it sees CONNECT, and prints the rest of the response later on. What i did was to add "REPORT CONNECT" to the top of my /etc/chatscripts/provider, and edited /etc/ppp/peers/provider to have chat called with a '-r /var/log/ppp.connect' option. I then had to touch /var/log/ppp.connect and make it so group dip could write it (or, you could just use /tmp instead of /var/log). An ip-up.d script later takes that and writes the speed to "/var/run/ppp-speed.$PPP_IFACE". In your case, you could write to the console instead of a file. And in case you want to know, my init string is ATQ0 V1 E1 L0 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 [If you connect to your modem with minicom, sending AT$ or AT&$ should give you help] - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN74Q+r7M/9WKZLW5AQH9ygP+LFaCQytdGZtV5yN+sp4LDvkFomGQiUYc oINkUx+3g+HUxSZ0aEblLWSX2RFCGfVK3LnkKBmvlUsgqTDXfdXzOADG0O+EFEmR ziNNXNxUFgYj9M032nrIOdXvUI9C49WdfgVjxJdAP/XZ9xk8uwjtxAkcHUNGgEH8 4eAGNYoh4d8= =arVW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
