I still only connect every other time to my ISP. Here's my dial script:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ OK ATDT33552000 CONNECT

My modem manual gives me the following info about hardware flow control:

&H0 Disables Transmit Data flow control
&H1 Hardware (CTS) Flow control (default)
&H2 Software flow control (XON/XOFF)
&H3 Hardware and Software flow control

&R0 Delay clear to send (CTS) response after RTS
&R1 Ignore RTS
&R2 Send data to the computer on receipt of RTS (default)

Do you think I ought to enable &H3, and leave &R2 as the default? 
If so, would it look something like the following? (I'm looking for 
syntax errors.)


#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ OK AT&H3 OK ATDT33552000 CONNECT

BTW, if I were to split the long command line up, could I do the following? 
 
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' \ 
ATZ OK AT&H3 OK ATDT33552000 CONNECT

(I'm interested in where to break it up, if \ is correct, and what '' means.)

Were I to fix anything else, I like to know if I've connected properly.
I still don't know whether my ISP sends back a message like:

Aug  2 08:14:37 localhost pppd[2253]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Aug  2 08:14:42 localhost pppd[2253]: Remote message: Login Succeeded
Aug  2 08:14:42 localhost kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered
Aug  2 08:14:43 localhost kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered
Aug  2 08:14:43 localhost pppd[2253]: local  IP address 200.211.118.182
Aug  2 08:14:43 localhost pppd[2253]: remote IP address 200.230.128.129      

or 

Aug  2 08:21:48 localhost pppd[2484]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Aug  2 08:22:22 localhost pppd[2484]: No response to PAP authenticate-requests   

until I check /var/log/messages at /dev/tty8.
What does No response to PAP... mean anywho?

I haven't tried that yet; this is what my /etc/syslog.conf looks like: 

local2.=info                                            /var/log/ppp
*.*                                                     /dev/tty8
*.*                                                     /var/log/messages

thanks Lawson!
