Thanks to everyone's forebearance, on and off the list, I've managed to
edit the RedHat 6.0 chat file (/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer) init string. Be-
cause there was some uncertainties, thought I'd pass along the conclusion.
Just before the ATDT dialing command, I inserted a set of AT commands
in double quotes as follows:
...
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK "AT&F1&K0" \
OK ATDT$TELEPHONE \
...
The quotations are to prevent bash from seeing the ampersands in the
command string, which otherwise would cause the string to hang.
The underlying issue is whether AT%F1 and AT&K0 help my external Robotics
56Kb modem talk to my ISP's alien modem server. One one test so far, but
it went well.
