well, it works, but they'd really rather not have to log in manually,
and I've not seen how to get it to NOT require them to log in manually
every time.
That's the short response. Here's the longer one:
I tried goin to the 'scripting' tab, and setting a (bogus) filename
in as the script, and that indeed forces w98 to make you log in
manually, at which point pppd runs (on the linux side) and all
that's needed is to tell w98 to go on with things. This works
fine, but requires the user to always log in manually, which
they'd rather not have.
Next login attempt - same thing, you need to enter manually.
So, I tried to create a script file - without any info on
what goes in to it I was pretty much spitting into the wind -
really messy, and I had no luck getting anything to work.
I suppose that if I knew how to set up a script (THAT WOULD
WORK! - I learned that you had to call it something like file.scr!)
I might convince them to go that way...
Sorry I did not mention my scripting attempts earlier...
