I understand what dial on demand is. What I didn't understand was why
bother if you have ADSL.

I used to have a chat script for Netvision for a modem line, but I
seem to have lost it (used kppp for quite a while before I got
ADSL). As I wrote, it did not differ from whatever was written in the
appropriate HOWTO. Also see "man chat(8)". My guess is it will work
once you insert the right username from the ADSL-HOWTO.

It will help if you send the chat script you are using to the list,
and tell us what's wrong, including debug information.
