a sample ppp script that shows this is:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 115200 \
crtscts modem lock \
ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local noipdefault \
lcp-echo-failure 12 lcp-echo-interval 5 \
nodefaultroute proxyarp \
persist holdoff 5 idle 86400 maxconnect 2592000 \
deflate 15,15 \
user david remotename wgn \
connect /etc/rc.d/chat.sh
and the chat script: (fake numbers)
number='555-1234' #psi-santa ana
#number='555-5678' #psi-santa ana2
exec /usr/sbin/chat -V -r /var/log/connect-rates -v \
TIMEOUT 3\
REPORT CARRIER \
REPORT CONNECT \
ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' \
ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' \
ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
'' "ATM0L3W0&D2DT${number}" \
TIMEOUT 45 'CONN' ''
-d
p.s. this script requires pppd 2.3.5
