I'm attempting to get my NetBSD box to dial into my ISP. However, the
chat script always fails. I've connected to the ISP modems with a
terminal program to try to discover the correct chat procedure, but I do
not get anything from the modems, nor does anything I type draw any
response. Is there some sort of magic sequence that has to be entered
before it will respond? I've tried user <username> and about anything
else I could think of, but no cigar.
I thought there used to be an option to chat that would allow you to
watch the expect-script in action. I thought it was chat -x, but that
option isn't recognized.
I'm running NetBSD 1.2
This message is coming through a PPP connection under Windows 95, so I
figure the service is not at fault.
The ISP service has been less than helpful in my attempts at debugging
this problem. Is there anything specific I could ask them to help
narrow down the problem?
Thank you,
