i'm not sure if chap actually needs this.

try the following:

1. set all your paremeters under the "default:" section in the ppp.conf file
2. start ppp
3. at the ppp prompt type dial (at this time you should at least hear the
modem dialling)

if you have Xwindows installed, open a second xterm and type tail -f
/var/log/ppp.log. this will display all the log entries as they are being
written to the log file.

let me know how you make out....
