We'll return to brianzad@asan.com and All's
discussion of is my pppd script correct?

 br> I can't get my modem to dial out.  This is the script I'm using.
 br> /usr/sbin/pppd connect 'chat -v " " ATZ OK ATDT5551212 CONNECT " " \
 br> ogin: xxxxx word: xxxx' \
 br> /dev/cua1 38400 debug crtscts modem defaultroute

 br> I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  The modem just does not dial.  Any
 br> help is appreciated.

I think some of your double quotes should be apostrophes.  Also, I
suggest putting your script in a file, and use:

pppd connect "chat -f scriptfile"  etc etc......

That way, people can't see your ISP's phone number and login (from a ps
-ax) if you have people telnetting in. :-)
