Maybe you go offline with gurus with your problem, but I suspect you'd be better served, if you are sincerely interested in getting Debian to do this, if you persisted with the list and offered us some details like: logs; type of modem; dialup strings that Debian (and Corel) are using. And what's your provider; maybe someone else has that one and knows the pitfalls. Hit-and-run won't get it; it only frustrates everybody. Well, I am sincere about wanting Debian to do the job for me. You are correct that some folks, including John Hasler, asked me for details privately. I agree that it would be better to do the whole thing on the list in case others have suggestions or have similar problems that can be solved by the interchange. I reported what I had seen in my earlier messages (pon does nothing and says nothing; wvdial seems to log on OK, but then dies with an Error #1). I had run pppconfig. But you've mentioned some information above that I did not supply, and I'll try to provide that in a later message. I noticed that under Debian you used wvdial. I've never used that; only pppconfig and pon. That should do a perfectly good chat script for you. Have you considered starting afresh and getting wvdial out of the act? Sure, I'm open to anything. The attraction of wvdial was that it provides a running report of what it's doing, so I thought it would be better for diagosis. wvdial has worked well under Corel Linux, too. I'll report back on the modem strings... well, if they're different, I'll change Debian's so that it's the same as Corel's. Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

I agree with Lane on this. The attraction of wvdial is that right out of the box it shows the chat script messages, without having to configure a thing. The one problem I had was killing the darn thing; it would just redial. (I was using the downloaded base system, from which I was going to download the rest of the installation, and found out that \killall\ as a command is not in the base system!)

the redial is a feature and can be turned off... look for the wvdial config file...

I know it can be turned off generally, but the problem was I want it on
most of the time, and kill -9 pid doesn\'t kill it. The other thing
I liked about wvdial is its generation of a pretty decent init string.
