Hey, Im not a redhat user . But there are other options that your freind can
try other than chat scripts, there are some small programs for dialup that are
quite handy in these situations until you can figure out you scripts. One is
called ezppp you can pick it up at http://www.serv.net/~cameron/ezppp/
This was handy for me when i first got started in linux. It runs non suid root
so it can ber used by a non-root user.check it out. There si also a program
that can help you set uop your scripts, its called 'pppsetup' its a dialog
based program that asks you for you info and sticks it in the right places. you
can pick it up at http://www.linuxgeek.org/scripts.shtml
good luck, these are very good tools. :)
