Hi again,

	Now that I have pretty much figured out chat and pppd, my problem
is PAP, and how to make the smooth transition from the login: prompt to
ppp. I don't know how this process works, and can't tailor a chat script to
fit the bill. Here are the relevant files:

ppp-up:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/tty00 1200 connect "/etc/ppp/chatfile" \
+ua "/etc/ppp/ppp-login" +pap crtscts \
defaultroute noipdefault modem


chatfile:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/chat -v \
"" "ATF" \
"OK" "ATS0=0V1E1H0X4" \
"OK" "ATDT8202404" \
"ogin: " ""


pap-secrets:

* * <password>

ppp-login:

<username>
<password>

chat-error.log:

	As you can see from the ppp-up script, I use /etc/ppp/chatfile as
my chat script, then give /etc/ppp/ppp-login as the file containing my user
and pass for the +ua option (I'm not sure about the format of this file).
Then I give the +pap option and the rest is pretty normal. It seems from
the chat-error.log that everything works until it gets to the last line,
then it fails. (I don't know what the "last message repeated 2 times"
means.)

	After running ppp-up, the modem dials, connects, and the DCD, OH,
RTS, DTR and MR lights come on. After a few seconds, the RI light flashes
once, and all the lights go off, except the HS and MR. That's when I get
"Connect script failed" on the screen.

	I'm almost there, and am determined to see this ppp thing through
to the end, so please, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
