I'm trying to set up ppp to dial into the UofM's modem pool and here is what I get from the sys.log when I try to connect.

So you know I used the ISP-Hookup-HOWTO to set up my chatscript.
HELP!!!

should get you up and running

although the post does not look like an isp dialup server, more like a login shell server


you might try a manual login on minicom to see what's going on.

I don't know if it is a login shell server. I do know that it is a server at the Univercity of Michigan, that I can logon to, to connect to the Internet.

I will tell you that to set it up I had to manually set it up under Winblows.
