You'll want to use the SLIPdial script that comes with the Starter pack.
It does all kinds of nice things. I can adapt it for your provider, but
can't you persuade your provider to fall into line with all other
providers? (ie send node,password,link protocol,IP address, then wait
for HELLO)

And how can it tell if you are using slip or cslip without you telling
it? Does it automatically detect or does it assume something?

Anyway, the new SLIPdial script is very easy to hack. Just change the
subroutine 'Login'. I'll do it for you if I get time.
