 also failed.  Has ppp changed between  slink and
 potato?  (ATTWorldnet uses chap for login).
 
Were you using the Slink-an-a-half, or the original 
Slink?  The original slink was based on the 2.0 Kernel,
and I believe with Potato some of the settings for
chat changed.  Unfortunately, I can't remember them off
the top of my head.

Perhaps someone else can remember?

I am using the original slink, with some packages
updated. 

I have found the problem, and it may deserve a bug
fix. The problem was actually of my doing.  Worldnet
uses passwords with 'funny' characters so you have to
enter them 'quoted'.  The pppconfig program in slink
instructed you to do this, but the one in potato did
not mention this fact.  After some head scratching I
remembered this and then I hand edited the ppp and
chapscripts with 'quoted' password strings.  Voila!
Guess my memory access time is measured in tens of
minutes :-|

Please file a bug and include an example of a password with the funny
characters.  Pppconfig is supposed to deal with that automatically but it
appears that I never fully implemented the feature.
