chat/pppd problems

[Gaal Yahas]

Hello.

[I wrote about this a while ago, but didn't get a response. This
time the symptom is similar but slightly different.]

When attempting to dial my ISP with a chat script, I get:

Apr  2 21:54:01 fortinbras chat[360]: %% Low on memory; try again later^M

right after the modem's CONNECT, and the connection fails. This is
shortly after the system is started.

Top of 'top':

  9:54pm  up 6 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.06, 0.04, 0.00
29 processes: 28 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.3% user,  0.9% system,  0.0% nice, 98.7% idle
Mem:   63360K av,  24308K used,  39052K free,  10160K shrd,   1880K buff
Swap: 154684K av,  0K used, 154684K free 16408K cached

Uh, it looks like a response from your ISP's modem router.
Doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with your end,
did you try starting minicom, connecting, and then starting
pppd manually?
