don't know if this are the _only_ problems you have, but:
it looks like you've confused PASSWD_CHAT_SEQ with PASSWORD.
PASSWD_CHAT_SEQ should be something like "ogin:" (whatever your ISP says
to ask you to type in a password; e.g. "login:", but we drop the first
character in case of comms problems.)
also, if PROMPT="", the script will _never_ issue the PROTOCOL_START
command. if your ISP expects you to type in "ppp" or whatever at the
shell prompt, this script won't do it.
finally, START_ACK should be either "" or whatever the ISP tells you to
acknowledge that it's switching to ppp mode.
all this could be moot, however, if your ISP uses CHAP or PAP to
authenticate users. i suggest you first use minicom to dial your ISP and
write down the login sequence (i.e. "login:", i type "myusername",
"password:", i type "mypwd", "mode:", i type "ppp", "Going PPP..."). at
the end of the sequence, if it all works, you should get the PPP
"garbage" which looks like "{{{{{ ...". if you get the braces straight
away, your ISP uses CHAP or PAP, and you should use chap- or pap-
secrets to get your dial-in to work (i posted a reply to that question
last week, i think).
if you are still having problems after you have noted the ISP login
sequence, email me and i'll build you a "connect" script.
good luck,
