Just tried it.  No difference - the start script cycles over and over
and over, as usual.  Bleh.

Maybe someone can spot a bogon.

First, I have the following in /etc/start_if.sl0

#!/bin/sh
slattach -c -h -r /etc/ppp/slip-dial -s 115200 cuaa1

And /etc/ppp/slip-dial is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
# Slip dialer (that doesn't work)

PHONE=#1740
USER=jkh-slip
PASSWORD=haha,asifIwouldleavethathere
DEVICE=cuaa1

# Wait just a little for the line to settle down
sleep 10

(if chat -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT BUSY "" ATH OK ATD$PHONE CONNECT "" ogin: $
USER ssword: \\q$PASSWORD
then
    exit 0
else
    exit 1
fi
) < /dev/$DEVICE > /dev/$DEVICE

That's it.  Any ideas?

P.S.  Yes, the phone number is correct..  That's what a centrex ISDN
phone number looks like.. :)
