Does you server use PAP ? Do you need to enter your user ID and password
on login? I would advise you to install minicom, dial the server with it
and look for the prompts it gives you.
In my case it askes me for a "Username: ", I have to enter that,
then "Password: ", I enter password, then it gives me prompt
"NYUmodem>" and I have to enter "ppp" to start pppd on the other side.
It also uses PAP so I put the following line in my
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file:
<myuserID> * <mypassword>
Also, I had to add the following options to /etc/ppp.options_out file:
"user <myuserID>" - on the same line!
And finally, my /etc/ppp.chatscript looks like this:
REPORT CONNECT
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
"" ATDT<phonenumbertodial>
CONNECT ''
name:--name: <myuserID>
word: \q<mypassowrd>
\>--\> ppp\q
Hope this helps.
