I have a nice script that I found (redhat-ppp mailing list I think)
Worked for me the first time.
If you don't know what your script should look like then change the
settings for your modem in win95 to "Show terminal screen after dial" and
watch what goes on, Mine I saw:
login:
typed username and saw
Password:
Note that there was NOT a space after login: and there WAS after Password:
It would be a good idea to make sure that is how yours is or isn't.
