try setting the debug option in the connect script.
You might find the problem is timing. Sometimes, even though the prompt has
been output, the system is just not ready to strart accepting characters and
it misses the first couple of characters.
If the error in the log file says something like "Is the line looped?" then
this is probably the cause, you are sending LCP's at the login prompt and it
is echoing them back
when I configure chat scripts that must login I *always* put a small delay
before entering data.
ie:
'OK' 'ATDT333'
'CONNECT' ''
'ogin:' '\dusername'
'word:' '\dpassword'
