Hi,

If you are not familiar with PPPD I suggest you to get the wvdial package.
It is usefull and make the ppp setup easier.
You can get it at www.worldvisions.ca

Sigh.  This isn't a PPP problem, it's a script problem.  You have three "'s
in the command line above.  Things will go further if you remove the one
between the -v and the AT and replace it with '' .  But not much further
unless you use OK and not ok and use CONNECT and not connect just before
the '\d\c' .  And backing up, it's ttyS0 not ttys0.  Linux isn't an MS DOS
or Winxx OS, it's a *nix OS where case makes a difference.

Sigh.  You have an ISDN Terminal Adaptor or TA, which should have come with
documentation.  They are, however, indistinguishable from modems as far as
your serial port and pppd are concerned.
