I just switched ISPs from msn to earthlink and am unable to establishing
communications via the new ISP
I changed POP telephone numbers, account name and password in
"my-chat-script" and changed tne nameserver numbers in /etc/resolv.conf per
instructions from the ISP, but the ISP breaks off connections. I get
dialtone, and the usual whirling and buzzing from the modem, but not the
final click-in (or belching or whatever)
I have also tweaked the script changing some ' to "" and ' r ogin' from
'ogin' as they suggested, but to no avail
They have recommended a somewhat different setup than what was generated
from my Linux package, but as far as I can tell, the two are comparable
I am assuming there is some small but critical difference in detail that we
have not yet nailed down and I am waiting for further clarification from the
ISP (do they use PAP authentication, etc)
Isn't there some log I can examine to establish the precise point of
failure?
