Um... are you certain that you're getting all the way through the login
process to the part where ppp is starting? That is, do you end up seeing
a long string of essentially garbage just before you exit minicom? I was
having an unexplained modem hangup that occurred as a result of exiting
out too early - I assumed tha ppp would start up right away after giving
the password, but this wasn't the case. Also, then, my connect script
wouldn't work because it was based on my mistaken belief and so was too
short.
