I ran into this one, and finally figured it out.... Keep in mind that
it's been about three months since I've looked this, so it might be a
little iffy:
maxtech288:\
:np:hw:ht:to#60:sp#115200:tt=vt100:\
:pp=/usr/local/bin/pppin:\
:lm=Username\72\40:\
:im=:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/dialupmsg:
Note the use of "\40" in the lm field instead of a " " character, and the
\72 for a colon... (Octal values). Not sure if you can use "\r" and "\n"
-- you may need to convert those into octal as well...
Probably putting in:
:lm=Please\40log\40in\072\40:
... will work.
I also vaguely remember that if the "lm" field was screwed up, the "if"
field was ignored.
