Unhappy tricky pppd problem


I'm using pppd on my linux server as a gateway to the
internet for the rest of the house. But I'm having
problems with my new ISP. The ISP insists that I use
my full email address as my username instead of just
the username. And pppd gets confused by this
because of the "@" symbol, so authentication fails.

I have tried putting the whole thing in quotes, and have
tried putting a "\" before the "@", but neither worked.
Anyone got any suggestions? I am really desperate
here (the parents are going wild about the lack of
internet

I'll tellya what - if you solve the problem, I'll send you a
postcard

Well I don't know but have you tried something like this


ISP/loginname

instead of

loginname@isp

worth a shot


or try something like this from a terminal

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 57600 debug connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v '' ATD5555555 CONNECT '' ogin: <yourusername> assword: <yourpassword>"


Go here for a lot more help
