Very Computer

Hi and thanks for reading this.

I got my first Linux system installed 4 days ago, that was a piece of =
cake (30 min. wambam thank you mam, installed and ready;-), but now I =
would like the ppp to work.=20
When I connect to my ISP, this is what it looks like:
Annex username:********
Annex password:********
Permission granted
annex X:

This is the problem. X is a number between 1 and 16. This number =
corresponds to the number of modem that took the call.=20

When "annex X:" comes up I'm supposed to send the text string "ppp" in =
order to get my ISP to "enter" ppp mode. Since the chat program =
functions on the principle of expect/send and I won't know what number X =
will be before I call, how will I now what to expect? And how do I make =
a script that will work with this?=20

If anyone knows how fix this please email me or post a reply in this =
newsgroup.

Thank you in advance

Some ISP's get confused when you send stuff to them while they're talking.
My experience is that it's not a bad idea to put a few extra
       expect '\r'      send '\pWHATEVER'
sequences in the chat script.
