Telesys is a shell account, as opposed to a straight dial-up PPP provider.
Meaning the Telesys host doesn't automatically initiate ppp negotiation.
If you dial up in minicom, after authentication you get a (long) welcome
message and a prompt:
TelesysXX> (Where XX is a number)
If you enter
TelesysXX> ppp /compressed negotiate
The UT host starts ppp negotiation. Of course, doing that in minicom is
nearly useless. What you need to do is add lines in your dial-up script to
expect the ">" part of the prompt, since the host number varies, and to
answer with "ppp /compressed negotiate" The /compressed is optional, but
desirable. My wvdial script is:
<snip>
Username = ifXXXXX
Password = XXXXXXX
Default Reply = ppp /compressed negotiate
<snip>
So wvdial answers the Default Reply to anything it doesn't recognize. In
some script formats, the command will need to be in double quotes. wvdial,
which BTW I like better than RH's scripting tool, inserts the quotation
marks automatically.
I don't know of any status indicator, unless you want to use the xisp
dialup tool. It's a GUI dialer, works pretty well.
