I can connect via PPP when I dial out from term and the traffic flows
fine.
I have a script which only works after I have established a connection
through term and then disconnected. I have gone over the script again
and again and searched many archives. I am confident my script works. If
I run the script it dials and establishes a connection but, ppp never
goes to PPP.I get no errors and I know I am connected to my PPP dialin
server. If I establish a connection through term it works fine and PPP
comes up when I do ~p and if I close out and then run my script it
establishes a connection and PPP comes up fine. If I run the script
without establishing a connection through term It connects but, ppp
never comes up. I am trying to get the auto to work but until I get my
script to work auto never will.
