I have looked in the man page for pon, and it tells me that the two files :

/etc/ppp.chatscript; and
/etc/ppp.options-out

are required for pon to work. Neither of these files exist on my system, and
I was wondering if maybe this is the reason why I have been unable to
connect to the Internet ??? If that is the case, then how do I generate
these files ? .... is there some other PPP configuration routine that I need
to run as well as pppconfig, which I have already run ?

(Recall that originally I had the following error message when attempting to
connect to the net using pon with no parameters : "/usr/sbin/pppd: In file
/etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized option '/dev/modem'". I attempted to
fix this by adding the line /dev/modem in the provider file)
