OK, that's a possible reason for why my pppd gets no response from the pppd at
my ISP - it's not running! However, I tried that and now diald will not even
try to connect when there's traffic for my isp. I added the & this way;
/usr/sbin/chat& -v -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0
What about the result code ? ( result=$? )
Other suggestions . . ?
