Not really. If the chat script is provided though it should make it really easy. > I also printed some instructions at the advantis site (www.ibm.net) > which supposedly describes the "Generic" setup for PPP.

Copy the 'papsite' definition from /etc/ppp.conf and use it as the basis for your Advantis profile. You'll have to figure out the exact login (chat) sequence, but this can be done by just logging in manually once and noting down what you were prompted and what you responded with. On some servers you may not even need much of a script -- dialing in is all you need. See the chat(1) man page for details on writing chat scripts.
