I suspect it is your expect line for the login prompt. are you expecting "ogin: your_login_name" or just "ogin:" ?? you cant expect the former, your ISP expects you to enter your login. like so: ogin: your_login_name ssword: \qyour_password no quotes... the "\q" makes the password invisible in the log file. If you had it the way I think you did, your connection script will just sit around waiting for a string that wont arrive. Either chat, or your ISP will timeout with no action in a specified time.
