How did you come up with this weird chat script? Most ISPs are authenticating with PAP (or MS CHAP) these days.
If your ISP does authenticate this way (unlikely), you will be able to verify it in minicom by doing it manually. After entering 'ppp' at your console in minicom, you should see the PPP stream start -- it's a profusion of weird characters spewing over your screen. But if your ISP does authenticate this way, you should see the prompts from the left side of your chat script appear for you to respond to. > The ugly init screen above is basically the one I run on my mac using > the same modem to connect to my ISP.

The PPP-HOWTO by Robert Hart goes into the details of making this manual connection in minicom. My version is from 1997 but I highly recommend your reading it. On your Mac, you may have to revert to a custom-built script and the PPP-HOWTO will show you how to put it together. > >Set kdebug to 7 and observe the dialup dialog with your chatscript. Still recommended.

See if you can get it started manually in minicom. I should have said 'suggesting that PPP is not getting started'. Sorry if that caused any confusion. Dwight
