The "CONNECT" message *probably* comes from your modem's firmware, NOT from
pacbell.net . The dialog for PPP connections is anything but standard,
varying in unpredictable ways from ISP to ISP. You need to do one of two things:
1. Get help from somebody who has the same dial-up service from the
same ISP as you do.
2. Use a program like minicom to make the connection, and see what
exchange the line seems to want. Then modify your script to provide it.
In *general*, PPP service can authenticate in any of three ways:
PAP -- done by pppd as part of the PPP exchange
CHAP -- done by pppd as part of the PPP exchange
login/password -- done prior to the start of pppd, by a program like
chat, using receive/reply pairs specified in a script. (This sounds like
what you were using, and I remember that Best, one of the ISPs Verio
acquired way back when, did it this way.)
You need to find out which of them your new service uses (or if is uses
something else, though this is improbable).
