Thanks Guys, I had actually decided that I would try to make something like your script Ed. I just figured I should get me feet a bit wetter before I jumped in like that. I have only had Redhat or Mandrake installed for a total of a month, and I am still trying to learn about file permissions, and command-line stuff in Linux. I actually don't mind command line at all- once I am familiar with what I can do(I learned on a Digital Rainbow back in the very early '90's). I will give this a shot tonight whaen I have some time to play. Thanks Again, Chris On Sunday 09 December 2001 02:40 am, you wrote: Just start kppp (the KDE dialer program), go into the setup screens, click on the 'Authentication' button, change it from PAP to 'Script-based'. Then click on the Scripts tab, fill in the expect-send strings, save it, and enjoy. My send expect strings are: Expect: ogin Send: username Expect: ssword: Send: password Substitute username and password for your own. Ed.

I have been using Net1plus with Linux for 4 or 5 years now. I just use a script based logon with KPPP. Works real slick. Ed.

So mail him the script and we can all go to sleep!

What's KPPP? I'm starting to think I guessed wrong.
