Yep! :)
Those garbage characters you see are the PPP handshake from the ISP.
You simply need to do a PAP authentication directly without any login
script.
In my /etc/ppp directory is a file called pap-secrets containing three
items of information:
name remotename password
---- ---------- --------
John BigTimeISP toomanybozos
My call to pppd looks like:
pppd /dev/cuaa3 57600 defaultroute crtscts -bsdcomp \
asyncmap 00000000 connect /root/pppk/cetchat \
name John remotename BigTimeISP
The last line tells pppd to use the password "toomanybozos" from the
pap-secrets file. The "name" must match your user name at your ISP,
likewise for the "password," but the "remotename" can be anything you
choose.
The "connect /root/pppk/cetchat" is my chat script which contains some
AT commands to initialize the ISDN device, dial the number, and wait
for a CONNECT string, but nothing for logging in to a terminal prompt.
As soon as the chat script gets the CONNECT string, it passes control
back to pppd which starts the PAP authentication.
