[NTLUG:Discuss] ppp dialer from console

[Brian]

Rick--

Have you looked at the /var/log/messages log to watch the authentication
sequence?   That's probably a good first step. I use "diald" as my ppp
dialer...it has a nice Tk interface called dctrl that allows you to
monitor the connection, control the daemon, etc.  I simply use the chat
script I wrote for the ppp scripts as the same script called by diald.
