help on setting up ppp dialin

[mike h]

David,

I assume you're using chat(8) to write your modem script.  It works great
for me every time.  Here's what I use when dialing the student modem pool:

'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATDT*70,8125577'
'CONNECT' ''
'rname:' 'XXXXX'
'ord:' 'YYYYY'
'>>' 'PPP'


where "XXXXX" is your login (UW NetID) and "YYYYY" is your password.  You
also need to have a functional /etc/ppp/options.  Mine looks like:

lock passive defaultroute crtscts ipcp-accept-local ipcp-max-configure 50

|ATZ
|OK

|ATDT8125577
|^M
|User authentication verification
|alarm
|Script failed
|Exit

|i know i should get CONNECT back from cac, but what's going on here?

|script, but it didn't help.

|so if any of you have successfully done it, please let me know!!!
