Well, that's not quite enuf info to help solve the problem.  But if you
turn on debugging of chat, it will help a lot.  Add a line like the
following to your /etc/syslog.conf file:

	local2.*	/path/to/chat-log-file

Then, use `ps -ax' to find the PID for syslog, and restart it:

	kill -HUP <pid>

Next, make sure that the line in the connect script that invokes chat has
the -v option specified (v = "verbose output to local2.debug")

Finally, try again, and then look at the chat-log-file.  You'll see the
expect strinbgs as well as what was actually returned.  If you still can't
figure it out, post the chat-log-file (or E-mail to me privately) and
we'll see what we can do.
