Not so odd when you consider that the script expects to login and start
ppp manually. Most people now use pap or chap authentication, which
means that most of the broken code is usually deleted and rarely tested.
The script is sufficiently old that the brokenness could probably be
attributed to changes in the bash code. I bet $.02 it would work fine
on bash v 1.14 or earlier.
