I use the scripts configured with pppconfig to dial my service provider.  When 
I'm local, the script just dials the 7-digit number.  When I'm travelling 
outside of my service provider's area, I edit the script 
(/etc/chatscripts/provider) and add the area code.  I'd like to edit the script 
to: (1) dial the toll-free number on my long-distance calling card, (2) wait 
for the tone, (3) enter the 4-digit code, (4) wait for a dial tone, and (5) 
dial the ISP's phone number.  I've looked over the documnetation, but I can't 
figure out how to get those pauses into the script.  Can anyone point me in the 
right direction here?  I use scripts from the Debian ppp package, but if one of 
the other dialers (wvdial, diald, x-isp) handles this better, I'd switch.


Perhaps this question is only peripherally related to laptops, or to Debian; if 
so, I'll apologize in advance.
