Thanks for the reply.  From the fact that pppd was trying to negotiate
connection by sending out packets, I think it 's not about chat
expecting the wrong string (as can be seen from /var/log/message where
it says CHAT `got' all the expected strings).  

I am still clueless :-(.  From the postings in c.o.l.n and Debian-user
mailing list, many people experience difficulties with linux 1.2.x and
ppp-2.2 despite the presence of PPP-HOWTO, NET-2-HOWTO.  Can those
who know ppp well make a comment on this?  

Thanks,
Billy
