The ppp scripts typically try to control the modem connection and setup
the default route. Below is my diald connect script which has been
working well:
========================================================================
infordec@ps-server> cat /etc/diald/connect
#!/bin/sh
# Copyright (c) 1996, Eric Schenk.
#
# This script is intended to give an example of a connection script that
# uses the "message" facility of diald to communicate progress through
# the dialing process to a diald monitoring program such as dctrl or
diald-top.
# It also reports progress to the system logs. This can be useful if you
# are seeing failed attempts to connect and you want to know when and
why
# they are failing.
#
# This script requires the use of chat-1.9 or greater for full
# functionality. It should work with older versions of chat,
# but it will not be able to report the reason for a connection failure.
# Configuration parameters
# The initialization string for your modem
#MODEM_INIT="AT&FV1&C1E0Q0S71=0S80=1&D2"
MODEM_INIT="AT&FE0"
# The phone number to dial
PHONE_NUMBER="<your phone number>"
# The chat sequence to recognize that the remote system
# is asking for your user name.
USER_CHAT_SEQ="ogin:--ogin:--ogin:--ogin:--ogin:--ogin:--ogin:"
# The string to send in response to the request for your user name.
USER_NAME="<your user name>"
# The chat sequence to recongnize that the remote system
# is asking for your password.
PASSWD_CHAT_SEQ="word:"
# The string to send in response to the request for your password.
PASSWORD="<your password>"
# The prompt the remote system will give once you are logged in
# If you do not define this then the script will assume that
# there is no command to be issued to start up the remote protocol.
#PROMPT="Entering PPP"
PROMPT = ""
# The command to issue to start up the remote protocol
#PROTOCOL_START="ppp"
PROTOCOL_START=""
# The string to wait for to see that the protocol on the remote
# end started OK. If this is empty then no check will be performed.
#START_ACK="Switching to PPP."
START_ACK=""
# Pass a message on to diald and the system logs.
