Well I think this worked at one time and my latest build was from within
the last week so this should be a current change.
There is a a script for ppp connections that handles a number list like
this:
${NUMBERLIST%%:*}
the numbers in the file are seperated by ':'s so that bit of code should
catch only the first number (works fine with bash and I'm almost sure it
worked before). I entered my primary pop number in the files and looked at
the chat script that was created and each time it missed the last number
so eventually I ended up with just ATDT in my chat script.
Example:
3405311 became 340531 then 34053 and so on each time it went through the
loop without connecting.
To get this back to working I just replaced /bin/sh with /bin/bash in the
execute line. Let me know if this should be documented in a PR or if
someone knows what piece of code is broken.
