I've never gotten around to sorting out a good solution for this
(although I was discussing it with someone only today). You can
execute programs from your chat script and could theoretically write
a script that displayed the last few lines of the ppp log and then
prompt for something to echo to stdout (which gets picked back up by
ppp). Check the man page for details on ``!'' commands in the chat
script.... it'll need a bit of experimentation though.
I think the correct solution is something more along the lines of
connecting with pppctl, setting local chat logging and having some
facility in the chat script for waiting for a ``send-chat'' command
to be executed from elsewhere.... the prompt will display the
conversation as it happens, and when the secureid is figured out, you
can ``send-chat whatever''.
Do you think this sort of thing might be appropriate ?
