hmmm, tried moving the /etc/chatscripts and /etc/ppp directories to
places the computer wouldn't look for them and removed and
reinstalled ppp and pppconfig....
still not able to dial in with chat....
maybe I'll bite the bullet and load wvdial but I'd really like it if I could
figure out what was up and go back to using a script, it's much more
flexible... I'd say it was a modem issue except that the modem
behaves just fine with anything but chat...
