Kite,
you're right. When I use minicom to connect, after login I am at a
prompt (prompt> ). To start ppp I am required to type ppp followed by
return. Here is my chat script,
exec /usr/sbin/chat -v
TIMEOUT 3 \
ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
'' \rAT \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK AT+CBST=71,0,1 \
OK ATDT$TELEPHONE \
sername: $ACCOUNT \
assword: $PASSWORD
the AT+CBST command is used as I am using a GSM modem!
how would I get ppp to start fom this script?
thanks
