Okay, I read all the suggestions yesterday regarding what to do after connecting, and I'd like to telnet for now. I at least know sort of what it is, but I'm suspecting after some experiments that I have to set up some kind of configuration file for it too, is that correct? I looked up telnet on the man pages, but there was stuff of stuff that didn't make any sense. Anywhere else I could look? Do people here have suggestions on what I could do? And is any of the information in the PPP set up message from drizzle that I'm forwarding again useful to telnetting? Thanks.

You can use PAP or CHAP to login. For your dial up connection, you need to append your username with "-ppp" like this: annas-ppp Your connect script should look for some version of "login" and "Password" and send your username (with the -ppp) and your password. Your IP address and Gateway address will be assigned dynamically via DHCP, so you should leave them unspecified. Using 0.0.0.0 is the usual way of doing this.
