DOIP using dialppp.cmd for Demon

Does anyone here still use Dial Other Internet Providers using the Demon
script dialppp.cmd?

I've been having a lot of trouble with connections to Demon using a Pace
33.6kbps modem and would like to modify the script to write all of the connect
information to a log file.  Although I'm no expert at Rexx it shouldn't be
beyond me, but perhaps someone has already done it?

The script uses two functions, ppp_com_output & ppp_com_input, that I can't
find any information on.  I assume they're part of IBM's ppp.exe - they appear
in the script as:

  call ppp_com_output interface, sendstring

and

  nextchar = ppp_com_input( interface, 1, 1000)

what I want to do is copy the data returned from the modem to a file without
interfering with the existing function.

Any ideas?
