Hi,
I have connected to my ISP via ONE SINGLE script ever since
I'm providing my script as well as the relevant portion of
my /var/log/messages file:
#!/bin/sh
user=MyUserID pass=MyPassword tel=1234567
T1=5 T2=25
exec pppd /dev/ttyS2 \
57600 \
crtscts \
defaultroute \
lock \
modem \
-detach \
noipdefault \
user $user \
connect \
"chat -v \
ABORT 'NO CARRIER' \
ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' \
ABORT BUSY \
TIMEOUT $T1 \
'' ATZL3M2 \
OK AT%TCBDT$tel \
TIMEOUT $T2 \
REPORT 'Waiting for connect ($T2 sec)\n' \
CONNECT \c \
'name>' '$user' \
'word>' '$pass' \
REPORT '* Login ok\n'" \
2>/y &
Depending on your version of pppd and chat several options or strings
may have slightly different names. For example, older versions of chat
used SAY instead of REPORT.
The last line performs redirection of stderr to my alternate
(Hercules) monitor. change it to your needs. Don't ommit the single
quotes around expect and send strings or the script won't work. If you
want more debugging output you can supply additional pppd options:
debug
kdebug 7 (may also be any other
binary combination of 1,2,4)
The substring %TCB in the middle of the dial string avoids the german
telekom caused redial lock and is modem specific. You should remove it.
Below comes my messages file:
