You're missing a space !

Well, first you've got to sit down and think about what's going on in
each environment. Your isp is giving two prompts and you're
answering each. The ppp ``set login'' command is being told an
expect send sequence.
Isn't it fairly clear that you need to remove the last two words in
the above example ?
WRT the F7 thing, clearly, pressing this key has nothing to do with
interactions with your ISP. You're telling ppp to start doing its
stuff (you're finished logging in). Skipping through the ppp man
page on FreeBSD will mention that ~p should be used.
You're expected to *try* doing what you consider makes sense. If you
don't think the manual page is explaining this stuff clearly, feel
free to submit something better.
