Can someone help me with this script that I am writing to keep my modem
connected to my ISP.
Please note that 200.200.200.200 is the number that my ISP gives me apon
connection.

Here it is

( sleep 20 ; while : ; do /usr/sbin/pppd connect ' /usr/sbin/chat -f
./login.txt ' -detatch lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4
:200.200.200.200 /dev/cua0 38400 ; sleep 30 ; done ) &

my chat script login.txt is as follows

" " +++ " " ATH0 " ATZ OK ATDT 1234567 ogin: username word: pword "

I am runnig Linux 2.0.18 with a 486-DX4-120 with 32mb ram with the slip
and ppp modules compiled into the kernel. I usually use DIP to connect
but it is not too good at reconnecting the modem. When this script is
run the modem ON HOOK light flashes temporarly and the script keeps
running without actually doing anything.

If anyone can help me with this could a it be mailed to me at
ma.eng@mailbox.uq.oz.au


Thankyou in advance

Glenn Powell
