Hi there,

I'm trying to dial into work where we've recently gotten a new modem setup
that requires PAP authentication, and it's being a little picky with me
:-/

It'll throw you right off if it senses that you try to do a terminal
connection, so I've set up the following simple chat-script to do the
dialing : 

'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Authentication failure'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'TIMEOUT' '45'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATDT<our-phone-number>'
'CONNECT' \d\c

The last '\c' is crucial to avoid getting thrown off immediately, but
something is still not working :-( When I use it, the modem dials fine,
the other end picks up and starts chatting, but it seems like pppd never
starts listening for the PAP stuff. According to the debug log the
"Connect script failed"

Jan 19 23:38:55 localhost pppd[4890]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: abort on (BUSY)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: abort on (ERROR)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: abort on (NO DIALTONE)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: abort on (Authentication failure)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: abort on (Invalid Login)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: abort on (Login incorrect)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: timeout set to 45 seconds
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: send (ATZ^M)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: expect (OK)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: ATZ^M^M
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: OK
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]:  -- got it 
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: send (ATDT<our-phone-number>^M)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: expect (CONNECT)
Jan 19 23:38:57 localhost chat[4891]: ^M
Jan 19 23:39:42 localhost chat[4891]: alarm
Jan 19 23:39:42 localhost pppd[4890]: Connect script failed
Jan 19 23:39:42 localhost chat[4891]: Failed
Jan 19 23:39:43 localhost pppd[4890]: Exit.

BUT I can't find out WHY it failed. It would be really nice if the debug
message said something like "Connect script failed with status x" so I
could go back and look at the man page for chat to find out what went
wrong. 

Now, given that this is what I get, does anyone have any good ideas about
what I might want to try to do differently ?

I've used the 'debug' and 'kdebug 25' options for pppd, but aside from
what's shown above it doesn't log anything. And that's despite the fact
that the other end of the connection is sending me lots of stuff (judging
from the sound it sounds like the server side of a PAP authentication,
but I may have missed a few bits ;)

Any help is much appreciated !
Rasmus
