Don't touch chat.. all you need to use is PAP, the following is for RH5
or RH6 using netcfg.


/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
nolimits        ppp1    nolimits

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp1
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'' 'ATZ l1'
'OK' 'ATDT142 FILL IN NUMBER HERE'
'CONNECT' ''

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp1
PERSIST=no
DEFROUTE=yes
ONBOOT=no
INITSTRING='ATZ l1'
MODEMPORT=/dev/modem
LINESPEED=115200
ESCAPECHARS=no
DEFABORT=yes
HARDFLOWCTL=yes
DEVICE=ppp1
PPPOPTIONS='bsdcomp 12'
DEBUG=no
PAPNAME=nolimits
REMIP=
IPADDR=
BOOTPROTO=none
MTU=
MRU=
DISCONNECTTIMEOUT=
RETRYTIMEOUT=
USERCTL=yes


------------------------------------
Restart networking (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart) and you should
have a ppp1 interface you can use to dial up Esat..
(/usr/sbin/usernetctl ppp1 up)
The USERCTL string at the end enables anyone to start and stop ppp1,
handy sometimes, security risk other times..

Donncha.
