I followed the ppp HOWTO presented on ONLAMP. On a command line I invoke pppon. The DTR and other lamps on the external modem light and remain lit for a minute or so and afterwards turn-off, no activity. I've spend several evenings and a weekend and I still cannot decipher the error message in the connect-error file. What is wrong with my pppon file? I'm using Red Hat 6.2 and an external modem (OLITEC model Total Office). Must the script that chat reads be a bash file? Thanks for your help. jjc PS: the ppphowto is on O'Reilly's WEB site ONLAMP, the urls are http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/05/03/ppp.html (two pages) http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/05/17/ppp.html?page=1 (four pages) The connect-error file I displays: sh: unexpected EOF while looking for `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error sh: unexpected EOF while looking for `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory sh: /usr/sbin/chat: No such file or directory The pppon file displays: #!/bin/sh # Friday 05OCT2001 4:52 PM # This script is to log on to my ISP Bell Atlantic dot Net # created by John J.
