The ``enable dns'' line should make ppp query your ISP for it's DNS
numbers and put them in /etc/resolv.conf (replacing any that are there
already). You can put them in /etc/resolv.conf (note no 'e' on the end
of ``resolv'') but leave ``enable dns''. That way, if your ISP
supports this feature, and most do, then /etc/resolv.conf will
automatically be updated if your ISP changes there DNS IPs. the format
of /etc/resolv.conf is:

nameserver a.b.c.d
nameserver e.f.g.h

I'd remove this, just leave ``CONNECT'' or it will fail if it doesn't
connect at 115200 (which is the DTE speed anyway).

You haven't changed this to 0.0.0.0 :)

OK. It appears that your modem is echoing back everything you send it.
If you type ``term'' at the ``ppp ON foobar>'' prompt and then type I
would expect you see this:

AT        <<== You type this
AT
OK
ATDT092700420  <<== You type this
ATDT092700420

You will need to check your modem's documentation to help solve this
(maybe the default ``ATE1Q0'' in the ``set dial'' line is causing
it?). Also increase the TIMEOUT from 5 to 10 or 15:

....CARRIER TIMEOUT 15....

  If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
  am I entitled to my money back?
