I realize that typically these responses are reserved for private emails but, I had an
overwhelming response from this list. At the risk of sounding like Natalie Merchant,
I thank you, thank you, thank you. I have struggled with this problem for over a
month and have contacted about 20 people outside of this list for answers and I had
the solution five times over within 10 hours of my posting.
The answer was that in /ppp/etc/on-ppp-dialer the chat command did not have a full
path in front of it! Thus, it would work under root who's path included /usr/sbin
(where chat resides) and not under a regular user as the regular user path does not
include /usr/sbin. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the system did not return a
"command not found" error when it got to the chat command?
Again many thanks and may you all proceed the elephants in the parade of life!
