I think that you're misunderstanding exactly what the ppp-login file is
for. It's not a "script", but rather it's a token replacement. You really
want to put the pri/P part in your ppp-chat script. Your chat script should
look something like this:


=========
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIAL"
TIMEOUT 10
"" ATZ OK AT&F1m0
OK ATDT$NUMBER
TIMEOUT 60
CONNECT ""
ogin:--ogin: pri/P$LOGIN
word: $PASSWD
=========


Hope this helps,
Mike
