	that looks like the suggested ppp.conf verbatim.  i found that it 
would disconnect me after a few minutes. ;((  

	i added the two lines "disable lqr" and "deny lqr" to my "site 
definition".  its now been working without problems for several hours.  
try this:

aspen> ppp -auto atinc


atinc:
        set debug phase chat lcp
        set device /dev/cua01
        set speed 57600
        disable lqr
        deny lqr
        set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 
OK-AT-OK \
\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
        set phone 7035551212
        set login "TIMEOUT .....
        set timeout 0
        set ifaddr my.ip.address  their.ip.address
        add 0 their.netmask  their.ip.address


you can remove 'chat' from the debug after you get it login'ing 
correctly.  'set timeout 0' will prevent ppp from hanging up.
