ppp configuration

This is how to configure ppp for GemAIR.
(debian linux version 2.0)

chat script for ISP that authenticates at the login prompt
(in /etc/chatscripts/provider)
(instead of using chap or pap)
(for chap or pap authentication replace LOGIN_NAME with \c
and delete the lines that follow it.):

	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-
ABORT		BUSY
ABORT		"NO CARRIER"
ABORT		VOICE
ABORT		"NO DIALTONE"
""		"AT&FV1W2E0"
OK		ATDT9100006
ogin:		LOGGIN_NAME
# use \q to suppress writing strings to SYSLOG
ssword:		"\qPASSWORD"
	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-

typical command line options for use with pppd:

# The chatscript (be sure to edit that file too)
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"
/dev/ttyS2 115200 defaultroute noipdefault debug modem crtscts persist
