I'm writing this letter using Pine running under NetBSD/atari going 
through my PPP provider.

I can't belive that after so long I've been able to setup PPP with ease-- 
I guess the initial struggle with UNIX was worth it.

I'm going to post my brief How-To just as soon as I get one thing 
resolved: cu.

These are the steps I have to take.
1. cu -p port1 -l /dev/mdm02
   dial and enter my login
2. Switch to ttye0 and type pppd crtscts defaultroute /dev/mdm02 19200
3. Switch to ttye1 and exit from cu-- that is unless it does not hangup
   after saing: "cu: write: message too long"
4. I'm connected.

ftp, telnet, lynx, ping, sendmail all work!

I'll check if anything else is needed and post it

doppp reports that chat script failed.

This is what does not work:

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/doppp
#
pppd mdm02 19200 connect /etc/ppp/dochat crtscts -d passive defaultroute -vj

--------
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/ppp/dochat
#
chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat

-------
The /etc/ppp/chat file:

ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ OK ATDT9887140 CONNECT
ogin: asx assword: <my password>

Hope this helps out some people and gets me some feedback.  At the moment 
I can send email out to the world but can't get email to my computer -- I 
still have to telnet.
