dear all,
i am having some trouble getting chat to work with pppd. i have already
tried a pppd/kermit mix, and it works great. in fact i am doing e-mail
over my ppp line right now. i just wish i could automate everything by
typing "pppd."
here is my /etc/ppp/options file:
/dev/tty03
19200
crtscts
connect 'chat "" ATZ OK ATDT*70,6855599 CONNECT \n rname: name ssword:
password >> ppp'
noipdefault
defaultroute
basically, what i need to do is dial in, then hit a carriage return to
get a Username: prompt, then enter the name, what for the password
prompt, enter the password, then wait for a ">>" prompt, then enter ppp.
whenever i start up pppd, it dies with:
chat: unrecognized command "ATZ"
so, obviously it must be the syntax of my script. however, i read the
man pages and a couple of examples from people, and my script looks
exactly like the examples from both! please tell me there's a stupid
mistake i made.
oh, btw, i am running netbsd-1.0/i386 w/o patches. thanks for any help.
