Hey Mark,

It will connect, probably not transfer any traffic, then disconnect after the idle 
timeout occurs.

Sounds like you need to modify the chat script - could be your ISP doesn't use the 
same prompts.  Follow the suggestion of calling your ISP with a basic term program, 
and write down the prompts.  Also check your /var/log/messages file to see what is 
going on.
