Thank you, Sheldon. That baudrate is the default, and I have
/dev/ttyS4 symlinked to /dev/modem, which eznet uses by default.

The chat option is confusing to me.

man ezenet:

chat

The default value of this option is "yes". If you set it to "no",
then eznet will try to set up a PPP link as soon as the modem
connects, ignoring any "login:" or similar prompts from the
remote machine.

....

idle

This parameter records the number of seconds of inactivity that
will cause the PPP connection to shutdown. The default value is
300 (5 minutes). If you set it to 0, then no idle timeout will
occur.

/quote

Why would you have "chat no" _and_ user/password set?

I use the utility 'chat' on my debian OS to connect to
the same provider:

/etc/chatscripts/provider 

ABORT        BUSY
ABORT        "NO CARRIER"
ABORT        VOICE
ABORT        "NO DIALTONE"
""           ATZW2
OK           ATDTxxxxxx
ogin         "leeforrest AT simple.net"
word         \qxxxxx

/quote

Note that the option "NO CARRIER" is set, as it is in eznet.

As for 'idle', mine is set at the default, and I can't see
how that would be a problem.
