The other end is not negotiating ppp. Probably sitting there waiting for
some other input (eg a password.). Log on to your ISP (eg wit minicom)
and see what they expect to receive. Then send them exactly that.

Sorry, what does this mean? chat is a program to talk to your serial
port with. "errors" usually mena that the "send/expect" sequence is
wrong. It is not a problem with the program.


]Here is what my scripts look like:

]------>8 snip here for script one 8<--------
]#!/bin/bash
] /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 115200 \
]  crtscts modem lock \
]  ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local noipdefault \
]  lcp-echo-failure 12 lcp-echo-interval 5 \
]  defaultroute proxyarp \
]  persist holdoff 5 idle 86400 maxconnect 2592000 \
]  deflate 15,15 \
]  user mikejm remotename wgn \
]  connect /usr/local/dialer
]------>8 snip here for script one 8<--------

Why all of these options? How do you mean to use both proxyarp and
defaultroute at the same time. Prune this down to a bare minimum
get rid of everything except defaultroute, adn put in debug so you can
see what pppd thinks it is doing.

 /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 115200 \
 defaultroute connect /usr/local/dialer

Then you can add stuff if you really really need it.

]------>8 snip here for script two 8<--------
]#!/bin/bash

]number="1-562-485-1000"        #wgn

]exec /usr/sbin/chat -V -r /var/log/connect-rates -v \
]  TIMEOUT 3 \
]  REPORT CARRIER \
]  REPORT CONNECT \
]  ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
]  ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
]  ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' \
]  ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' \
]  ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
]  '' "ATM0L0W0&D2DT${number}" \
]  TIMEOUT 45 'CONN' ''

So, you wait for connect and then drop out of the chat script. I suspect
that your ISP wants something else (like you to log on for example).


]I get a "chat script failed" message when I try to tail -f the
]messages file.

What error? why by the way do you have double quotes around the AT line
rather than single?
