(1) in "/etc/ppp/options" one should include "asyncmap 0" so the connection is run at full speed Maybe this causes problems for some people, I don't know. (2) I wrote a script that allows multiple phone-numbers and multiple tries for establishing the connection, based on "chat". The copy on my www-server is commented in German so I post a english version here .... 8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<----- #!/bin/sh # DT= tone dialing DP= pulse dialing M0= be quiet INIT_STRING=M1DT # alternate init-string (used by "minicom", works in most cases) #INIT_STRING="S7=45S0=0L1V1X4&c1E1Q0DP" # first telephone number (do not use spaces or other chars than numbers!)
