it was very nice of sun to have ppp in pcnfspro, but not very nice of them
not to give any docs on it ;)

1st thing i'd do is have manual connects working, ie, try to connect with
an interactive session. if that works ok, write down all the responses
you had to put in for this to work.

The scripting language that pcnfspro uses is not documented anywhere, except
for a readme file where it stated that "SEND" is the command to use. I dont
have the script with me, but the format is something like

SEND blah\R
\R
SEND blah\R

where \R is the carriage return...
