You need to specify the prompt you're waiting for before you send the ppp string at the end. It should read: "" atdt5813960 CONNECT "" rname:--rname: MY_LOGIN word: MY_PASSWRD "ion >" ppp Try that. Also, you can have a look at /var/adm/ppp.log and /var/adm/messages for clues as to what's going on. The new dunc package doesn't really do this part any differently, but its better in other ways. You might want to check it out (from hamm) if this doesn't solve it for you.
