Using DIP

I'm trying to get my Linux box to establish a SLIP connection to Demon,
without much success. In fact I can't even get the modem to dial (although
the lights flicker as if it's receiving something.)

I've been using the DIP utility as supplied with Slackware Linux.
My modem is a USR Sportster 14,400.  If anybody has used DIP with Demon
and/or a USR Sportster, I'd be very grateful for any help you could offer.

Somebody did suggest that I might try PPP instead - any suggestions along
that line?

Many thanks!


This is the script file that I've been using:

main:
  get $local swmiller.demon.co.uk
  get $remote 158.152.1.222
  port ttyS1
  speed 38400
  reset
  send ATB0&M4&H1&R2&I0&K3\n
  send AT&B1&N0&S1&Y1&D2&C1\n
  send ATV1Q0X4&A3E1F1M1\n
  wait OK 2
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  dial 01403839666
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  wait CONNECT 60
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error

login:
  sleep 3
  send \r\n\r\n
  wait ogin: 10
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  send swmiller\n
  wait word: 5
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  send PASSWORD_GOES_HERE\n
  wait ocol: 30
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  send slip\n
  wait HELLO 30
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error

done:
  print Connected okay.
  get $mtu 576
  default
  mode SLIP
  goto exit

error:
  print Failed.

exit:
