Smeg... sorry, forgot to mention that my (Linux quambie) ISP uses PAP... any
hints for scripting this stuff appreciated

Your modem is clearly not responding. Have you enabled it in your isapnp.conf
file?

Try using minicom first to see if the modem works. Only then I�d try to use
pppd. 
(Check out kppp(KDE) or ezppp, they make configuring all that a lot easier)

You aren't even talking successfully to the modem. Here is  short
description of what the above lines mean...

abort on xxxx
   This is setting up various conditions that will cause the chat script
   to abort if they are detected.

send (ATZ^M)
   This is the computer sending to the modem the ATZ command which on
   Hayes compatable modems will cause them to be reset and reload their
   configuration from NVRAM. This command usually takes only a second or two.

expect(OK)
   The script will wait for the modem to send OK back to the computer
   (the ATZ command will do this when it's done)

alarm
   You have problems. The modem didn't send back to the computer OK, but
   instead did nothing. After sending the ATZ command, 45 seconds went by
   without the modem responding with OK. Not good.

The rest of the lines describes chat and PPP terminating.

I would suggest that you type to see if you can use the modem manually
via a comm program like seyon. When you can sucessfully communicate with
the modem, then try again with PPP.

Hope this helps,
John Cochran

I get the same alarm thingy when I tried to script PPP myself.  I can
talk to my modem with minicom and connect and start PPP manually. 
anyway I would try reading the modem HOWTO first and get that to work. 
it looks like the PNP HOWTO will help you a lot too.  then read the PPP
HOWTO and the ISP_HOOKUP-HOWTO these and others can all be found at the
LDP:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/

		good luck and have fun
oh, if you are running redhat you can use netcfg as root to start PPP
check out the netcfg howto on redhat's pages for that...
