🚀 go-pugleaf

i've set up (slackware) linux 2.0.33 on a 386 at home to act as a
dial-up server to my isp.

i've got pppd working fine, but am having problems with diald: it
connects to the isp OK, then immediately runs a second "chat" script
that resets the modem. 

if anyone could point me in the right direction to solve this i'd
greatly appreciate it,


thanks in advance,



Mat
