System: NetBSD parresum 1.2G NetBSD 1.2G (VEEGO) #22: Tue Sep 23 11:24:59 MEST 1997 bernd@parresum:/home/source/obj_i386/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/VEEGO i386


>Description:
	The new pppd can not use a chat script for sending commands to the
	modem if you use 'crtscts' and NOT 'local' in /etc/ppp/options:

pppd 2.3.1 started by bernd, uid 0
Connect script failed
Exit. 

	This problem arise between revision 1.24 and 1.25 of pppd/main.c.
>How-To-Repeat:

pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f dial"

dial:
	TIMEOUT 60
	ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
	ABORT "NO CARRIER"
	ABORT BUSY
	""
	AT&D0 OK
	ATDTyyyy CONNECT
	""
	ogin: xxxxxxxxxxxx
	ssword: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

/etc/ppp/options:
	/dev/tty01 57600
	user xxxxx
	modem
	crtscts
	defaultroute
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	yourhostname:

>Fix:
	Back out the changes between revision 1.24 and 1.25 of pppd/main.c.
	or fix set_up_tty in pppd/sys-bsd.c if it is broken.
