Tried the NOAUTH but no luck. As it stands now I've temporarily given
up on S. W. Bell. Trying now to access my Earthlink ISP account. This
one does the following:
1. Dials and handshakes
2. Connects
3. get string as follows:
f~f~ffxx~f~ffxfxxxfffxffffxx~~f~'ffxfffxfffxff~xxATZ
4. put in string:
Expect ogin:
Send ELN/dreamcrafts
Expect sword:
Send XXXXXXXX (the password)
Without the string I get #3 above and then timeout. With string of
course it waits for each line, times out, redials, then waits for next
line in string. Obviously not getting through to send anything on the
string. I think that part is useless. Tried PAP, CHAP and terminal
based settings. Also checked data in various files for correct server
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, secrets files, .conf files, etc. I'm still missing
something.
Now it dials, connects, returns data, but it's gibberish. Once over
that hurdle, I'll have it licked. I remember seeing in the archives
someplace talk about the gibberish, but haven't been able to find it so
far. Anyone remember and point me to that?
Thanks again so much.
