My pppd tries repeatedly (at least 5 times) to connect; it probably has to do with the fact that I have the "presist" option in /etc/ppp.options_out. However, a better idea would be to find out why your pppd isn't connecting - what's near the end of your /var/log/ppp.log after an unsuccessful connect attempt? From what you describe, it almost sounds like some of the machines you're dialing into use one connect sequence, and some use another. In this case you need to figure out both types of login sequences and probably need to write an "expect" script - chap isn't good at deciding between alternatives. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
