Re: Strange chat / pppd behaviour ... :O
it looks lite it's a string received from modem, i.e. that the modem
is set to echo. try to set it to non-echo mode by including appropriate
AT command in init string.
then you should see it send:
send(ATE0Z^M)
(I think E0 is the command to turn of echo)
this, of course, might or might not help, I guess it's worth a try...

After experiencing some problems with establishing connections in the last days, I tracked the logfiles and found something like this for a failed ppp session:

> The dialup-scripts were created with standard slink pppconfig-tool and are giving the same error for several providers just *sometimes*, meaning that there are days we are able to dial up ten, twenty, thirty times without those problems, in other days we're experiencing the same error for several dozens of times until we finally established a working connection, Actually, since this didn't change even after some modifications of the /etc/chatscripts files, I am out of ideas to fix this... Can anyone help me with this? Especially this line in the logfile that I marked in the cut-out is ***very*** suspicious to me, mainly because in the chatscripts I couldn't find any command telling chat to there send the dialup command again... :///
