Connect script failed

[Anthony Campbell <acampbell@achc.demon.co.uk>]

I'm trying to get my laptop to connect to my ISP using a Courier external
modem.

I can connect manually using minicom but cannot get ppp running.

I've set up chat using pppconfig but pon gives the following error (plog)


Mar 15 17:12:57 achc chat[1139]: send (^M)
Mar 15 17:12:57 achc chat[1139]: expect (ogin:achc)

Mar 15 17:13:42 achc chat[1139]: Failed
Mar 15 17:13:43 achc pppd[1137]: Exit.



I've no idea how to go on from here. I've read the HOWTO for ppp but it
doesn't seem to be exactly the same for debian. Any ideas about what to
check?
