Hi,

Linux gives me hard times ..and probably for little details I m missing:
To set up my ppp connection, I ve configured following files:
- resolv.conf
nameserver 204.50.80.200
- ppp-on
TEL: 861 7915   # The telephone number for the connection
ACCOUNT= eva    # Account name for Logon (such as `George Burns`)
Password= 56redt6 # Password for this account (and ` Gracie Allen`)
LOCAL_ IP=0.0.0.0 # Local Ip adress if known. Dynamic=0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0 # Remote Ip adress if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0

...
DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
...
exec /usr/sbin/pppd lock modem crtscts /dev/cua3 57600 \
        asyncmap 20A0000 escape FF $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
         noipdefault netmask $NETMASK defaultroute connect \
          
&


I ve also configured ppp-on-dialer with just new entries such as my
password, mu sername and phone of the connection.
Then, I did: chmod +x /etc/ppp/ppp-on* at root.

The problem is that when I run /etc/ppp/ppp-on, I got the modem not
signalizing ..followed by following errors:
/etc/ppp/ppp-on :Burns)
Password=56redt6 #The password for this account (and Gracie: command not
found).
/etc/ppp/ppp-on: syntax error near unexpected tocken `ask.)`.
/etc/ppp/ppp-on: line 23: `# a security hole so dont ask.)`


I guess that I should delete the comments lines..exple: # Password for
this account (and ` Gracie Allen`), or probably /dev/cua3 is not
appropriate in `"exec /usr/sbin/pppd lock modem crtscts /dev/cua3 57600
\"..or the symbol & should not be at the far left bottom of   
$DIALER_SCRIPT . Or something like that..well, I did so  many trials and
my modem wont still dial ...and the error messages are still there.

Thanks for helpin me..
