[ILUG] Modem and 'chat' probs

[Matthew Sammon]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up ppp under new inst of Suse6.1 and am having trouble with chat.
The modem is a PnP "Logicode 33H-V-P-CL internal" and gets detected by
isapnp. I can dial Clubi with Minicom but immediately get
disconnected.

When I run the following "dialer" script:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/chat -v                   \
  TIMEOUT         3                      \
  ABORT           '\nBUSY\r'             \
  ABORT           '\nNO ANSWER\r'        \
  ABORT           '\nRING\r\n\r\nRING\r' \
  ''              '\rATZ'                 \
  'OK-+++\c-OK'   'AT&F'   \
  TIMEOUT         35                     \
  OK              'ATDT1891140140'       \
  CONNECT         ''

  syslog reports lots of "alarm"s from chat, but what are they?
  
chat[334]: timeout set to 15 seconds
chat[334]: abort on (\nBUSY\r)
chat[334]: abort on (\nNO ANSWER\r)
chat[334]: abort on (\nRING\r\n\r\nRING\r)
chat[334]: send (^MATZ^M)
chat[334]: expect (OK)
chat[334]: alarm
chat[334]: send (+++)
chat[334]: expect (OK)
chat[334]: alarm
chat[334]: Failed  
  
I have tried increasing TIMEOUTs and modifying init strings to no
avail

TIA
