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...

I have no problem with the scripting, its the ppp negotiation that is falling
down, and this is where there is even less mentioned in the documentation than
with the scripting.

Through the scripting I can dial, request a ppp link, send my user ID and
password.  The system then says something like "starting PP interface", and
then about 60 seconds later it says "Interface configuration timeout".
