It seemed to setup fine, but still having problems :(
when I type
ppp ON wolverine> dial
it dials up, all goes quiet like its authenticating, then hangs up and I
get:
ppp ON wolverine> Warning: Chat script failed

I even managed to get a program called XISP to compile (where you just give
it a tel/user/pass and it sorts it) but that has the same problems.

It seems when it hangs up it then sees the "connect" tag but its already
hung up by then. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I've tried almost
everything.

I do have "silo overflow" remarks in my message log /kernel: sio2: 1 more
silo overflow (total <some number>)
and that happens *everytime* I dial, and just before it connects. So does
that sound like it could be the problem? If so does anyone know how to fix
that?

I think I'll get there in the end....... when I'm not sure :(

TIA,
Andy.
