Hey, this is do-it-yourself Un*x, what do you expect??? If you want a
un*x-in-a-box where everything's been done for you, then you've come to the
wrong place. Go out and buy Solaris and a PC. If, however, you are
interested in tinkering & learning more about un*x, then here's what you
want to do.

OK, if you payed attention, you'd see that you want your Mac to wait for
the keys: prompt, and then press 11. So, for this, you probably want your
chat script to start off with something like:

ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIAL"
TIMEOUT 10
"" ATZ OK AT&FE1V1L1M1&Q5&K3m0
OK ATDT$NUMBER
TIMEOUT 60
CONNECT ""
""
""
""
""
keys: 11

You may be able to leave off the part after the connect line, because of
the autodetect, but I can't guarantee that it will work. Now, you need to
(if you haven't already)

Make a /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file and put in it:
* * <your password>

Add a line to /etc/ppp/options which contains:
user (your user name)


This should get you fully working assuming that you entered the info in the
other files correctly (you should be entering the same info as in MacTCP &
FreePPP).

ps, I'm also not fully positive on giving blank returns in the chat script.
They MAY need to be:
"" ""
"" ""
"" ""
"" ""
but I doubt it.
