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. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= "...
