but I can't see any login prompt or procedure as echoed. The use of
"Stupid Mode" has no effect on the failure to authenticate the
connection.
ISP's who only use PAP / CHAP authentication don't have a login
prompt. In that case you're forced to use pppd to handle this.
Thank you. Will you provide instructions on how to use the pppd solution you
suggest, please? I have identical lines in /etc/ppp/{pap,chap}-secrets:
myID@xxxxxxxxxxxx * myPassword
but using the following is apparently the wrong syntax, gleaned from
pppd --help (no man page is available on this machine):
pppd /dev/ttyS1 connect xxx-xxxx
