First, what makes it work in ppp.conf: set device /dev/cuaU0.0 set ctsrts off set login set dial set authname internet@ceria set authkey ceria set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR enable dns # set dns servers in resolv.conf nat enable yes nat deny_incoming yes set phone #777 The fun starts with the first start and after each restart of the modem after the battery went empty. It simply does not work after above's commands are entered manually one by one. There is no useful error message except that the modem either sends the wrong authentication information to the server or something else makes it drop the connection after this information is sent when doing it via the script. If I manually enter these commands, it works from the start. Of course, this is a problem caused by the modem but mentioning this in the handbook could help others in this strange situation. Erich
