Thinkpad 701CS
Hi,
I'm installing debian 1.2 on a Thinkpad 701CS, and I'm having a few
problems maybe you could help with.
I got the base system installed ok, but now I'm having trouble completing
the installation via ftp. I connected once, but the second time is
proving to be a challenge. Here's the latest of my /var/adm/ppp.log
files:

**************SNIP*******************
As you can see, when my script expects 'sername:' it seems to be getting
the line speed and there's no indication of a password having been
received. My guess is there's something wrong with the timing or
synchronization of the 'expect' and the 'got it'. The script I'm using
comes from the ISP itself (someone there is a Linux afficianado).
It worked before I did my first install after the 7 disk base install.
My question is: Does the output above mean that there IS a synch problem
and that I need to fiddle with the 'wait' or 'sleep' commands in my
script?
The normal sequence for connecting with my ISP is :
enter username:
enter password:
CS> # They want 'ppp default' here
Then it should just go right into a ppp session. Perhaps there's another
ppp service that's needed like PAP authentication or something?
Please let me know if you need more info. TIA!
