One other thing that should be noted is that chat will not transfer all
characters
correctly. If you need & for instance you need to type \& and for \ you need \\
Without those characters you're not likely to ever initialize the modem
correctly.
No connection is possible without the proper initialization of the modem.
On sunsiite there are many programs that can be used (serial dir)
it's ppp-setup + some other chars (don't remember the exact name)
it worked well for me , support pap
It generates the chat script for you but whatch out it's buggy, the backspace
don't work.
