when I try to call my isp on my freebsd machine I get the script failed
error. Does anyone know why this might be happening? and what is the
solution to this problem?

thanks

Solutions:
fix the chat script
fix the ISP
fix the modem

It sort of depends on what is failing. I have PPP (user PPP)
messages logged to a separate file (/var/log/ppp.log) just so I
could debug this sort of stuff. I think I have the logging options
from the 'examples' ppp.conf, and that gives a lot of information.

Look at the logged output. Most likely there is an "expect" message
followed soon after by a "chat script failed" message. What is
happening around there will tell you what is failing.

Do you get connected and get the error or not get connected at all?
What is in your ppp.conf file?

I still get chat script failures because my modem sometimes fails
to detect that the connection has dropped. But that is usually
not a problem when I'm trying to connect (until the next time).

seems like your chat script doesn't work (the file used with chat -f).
what' your isp? maybe someone who also has your isp could provide a
working script.

maybe you could provide more specific error messages, ...

I get no connection at all and my isp is i-sphere.com

My modem is installed at port 0x3ef-ox3ef irq 5 on isa0 and
here is what takes place when I try to connect

NS# ppp
working in interactive mode
using interface:tun0
ppp ON NS>
ppp ON NS>dial myisp
ppp ON NS>warning: char script failed
warning char script failed
.
.
ppp ON NS>
PPP ON NS>term
deflink:Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa0
type '~?' for help
~p

ppp ON NS>
ppp ON NS>q
NS#
