I've just installed Red Hat Linux 5.0, and I'm trying to connect to my AT&T WorldNet account using PPP. The problem seems to be in the PPP chat script. Does anyone have a working chat script for WorldNet, or know how I should go about making one? If not, does anyone have a working chat script for any good ISP that's available in New York City? I'd been thinking of switching from WorldNet to another service anyway. Here's what I've tried: My modem connects, but when I try to ping one of my domain name servers, ping says "sendto: Network is unreachable". I checked /var/log/messages, and I noticed that chat said "Failed", and pppd said "Connect script failed". By following the advice in the Red Hat PPP-Tips document, I got the chat command to log its conversation with WorldNet in /var/log/messages. I noticed that WorldNet sends a line that says "Please sign-on:". I tried having the script send my username in response, but that just caused WorldNet to send several long lines of garbage before disconnecting. (I tried this several times, and it did the same thing each time.) I thought this might have something to do with the PAP authentication I've seen mentioned in various places, though I don't know whether WorldNet uses PAP. I tried creating an interface with PAP selected, and this resulted in the "Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean" error. I gather from the PPP HOWTO that this often means the chat script is incorrect.
