I doubt they would let me connect without one. That's correct. Both of these should be in /etc/diald/connect, which should have been installed as part of the diald package. You will need to edit this file to put your ISP's phone number plus your username, password and and possibly some other customizations to match the connect dialog which your ISP requires.

If you are using PAP add 'user username' to the 'pppd-options' line. Pppd will look up the password in pap-secrets. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI

This will work if his ISP requires a scripted login. Better, though, to point the 'connect' option in diald.options at the the same /etc/chatscripts/ file that you use with pon. If you are using PAP or CHAP, just add user username to the arguments to 'pppd-options' in diald.options. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

RE: ISP username for diald
If you are using PAP add 'user username' to the 'pppd-options' line. Pppd will look up the password in pap-secrets. That worked great. Thank you. Chris
