When I type pon, I get this:

/dev/modem: unrecognized command
pppd version 2.2 patch level 0
Usage: /usr/sbin/pppd [ arguments ], where arguments are:

and a list of arguments.

I don't have a file called /etc/ppp.chatscript.  The HOW-TO I read
(http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO-15.html) specifies files
called ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer and ppp-off (in /etc).

Would simply having a correctly configured /etc/ppp.chatscript cause
pon to operate correctly?  Or Do I have another config problem?  Or 
something else I need to install?  BTW my PPP connection works fine
when I start it manually with minicom and then start pppd.

Could you (or anyone else?) perhaps send me a working example of
/etc/ppp.chatscript?

Thank You
