Still no luck. I am using the login script that you suggested with one
modification. Each time I tried to log into MSN I got a 'bad password'
error. After checking and rechecking I established that the password is the
same one that I use to connect to MSN through Window 98. I removed the
'expect MTU' from the end of script and got past the bad password problem.
Now I get a message that says 'starting pppd' which just stays there until I
timeout and the modem hangs up. I have run pppd and it appears to be up and
running. So close yet so far...
