I'm not having quite the same problem, more that after dialling and
getting a connection, at the point where the script ends, the modem
hangs up.
No apparent reason, it just hangs up the line as soon as it's done.
I'm running the standard demon ppp script that comes with slackware 3,
so I can't see any problem there, I'm using the same init string that I
use with turnpike, which works well enough for me to be able to post
this :) but to no avail.

I CAN get a connection with (C)SLIP, without it hanging up, but since
tunny wells is all Ascends, it's naff all use cos teh don't support
(C)SLIP.

Anybody got any tips? purrrleeeese?

Have you made sure that it's not *C*SLIP that you're using?  Ordinary
SLIP works fine, even with the Ascends.

And PPP is'nt hard to install either. :)

OK, does it drop the line at the bottom of the DIP script or the bottom
of the shell script ("start.dip").  If it's the shell script, try adding
these lines to the bottom and see what comes up:

/sbin/ifconfig
/bin/netstat -nr

If it's the DIP script, I don't know, I'll have to go away and think
about it...

I've got PPP installed, and I KNOW it's not (C)SLIP...using the scripts
I've got the command line to start it is "start.dip ppp", so unless
something's very much wrong, it shouldn't be (C)SLIP.
I'm just trying to fathom out why it drops the line as soon as the
script ends :(

I don't think that is necessary,
or even desirable if you are running mgetty.
However, it should be "port /dev/ttyS1".
