Yes.
I've had it working two ways: (1) using a chat script to log in to the
LanRover (you need to have shell access or some such configured for your
LanRover account, and send a couple of carriage returns on connect to
get the prompt; and (2) using CHAP to authenticate (for this, you don't
need "shell" access).
I'm using a fixed IP address, haven't tried a random one.
My chat script when I used method (1) looked like:
ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" "" "ATZ" \
OK "ATDT$phone" \
CONNECT "\r" \
id: $user \
assword? \\q$password \
ialback: "" \
">" ppp \
"starting PPP"
Using method (2), my chat script is simply the part up to "CONNECT" above,
and my /etc/ppp/chap-secrets contains a line like:
user server password
When my admin was setting up the LanRover end, I noticed that most account
names were full names with spaces (Windoze clients), so this might need some
careful quoting (I just had him use my standard Unix login name).
I can't remember where I got the server name: I think it was either a name
I saw when I logged in manually, or the host part of the LanRover's domain
name - I can check this if you're stuck.
If I've forgotten anything, or you need more help, drop me a line at
work: mark@europe.shiva.com. If I can't sort you out (I haven't really
had much exposure of these boxes... yet), I knew a few people who should
be able to. ;-)

Mine's a virtual whisky, thanks! (If you're ever in Edinburgh, Scotland:
Shiva Europe HQ and the Scotch Malt Whisky Society HQ are only a few hundred
yards' distant...)
