this is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
default:
 set speed 57600
 set device /dev/cuaa1
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK
\\dATDT$
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 name:-\\r-name: spaz word: thunder~ >> ppp"
 set timeout 420

uw:
 set phone 6857796
 set ifaddr 0 140.142.178.4/0
 add 0 255.255.255.0 140.142.178.4/0
 dial

when i invoke this as ppp uw, all is well. I have no trouble getting a
connection on the uw domain.

when i invoke it a ppp -auto uw, i get this:
