Can anyone help me with this error please.
I connect to my ISP and login, using chat, but
then pppd fails as follows:

 chat[299]: send (ppp^M) 
 pppd[298]: Serial connection established.
 pppd[298]: Using interface ppp0
 pppd[298]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
 pppd[298]: Serial line is looped back.
 pppd[298]: Connection terminated.

Do I need a delay after sending the PPP command?
If so, how can this be done? i've read the chat(8)
and pppd(8) man pages, but am still lost.
 If I log in manually, rather than getting pppd to call chat,
it works fine.
