Turned out to be true.

Thanks for the help, Steven. As usual, I learned a lot.

I downloaded the ppp package from Slackware 4.0 as David
suggested:

wget 
http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-4.0/slakware/n5/ppp.tgz

and extracted the tarball, copying the chat executable to /usr/sbin as
you recommended, then copied over my /etc/ppp/options from debian,
changing only the path to the chatscript, which I also copied
over from debian, where I use chat too:

/etc/ppp/options:

# Set up routing to go through this PPP link
defaultroute

noauth

# Default modem (you better replace this with /dev/ttySx!)
/dev/ttyS4

# Speed
115200

crtscts

lock

noipdefault

modem

lcp-echo-interval 30

lcp-echo-failure 4

#Keep modem up even if connection fails
#persist

debug

noipx

/quote

chatscript:

ABORT        BUSY
ABORT        "NO CARRIER"
ABORT        VOICE
ABORT        "NO DIALTONE"
""           ATZW2
OK           ATDTxxxxxxx   #local phone number
ogin         "leeforrest AT simple.net"
word         \qxxxxxx

/quote

(I'm using kernel 2.4.19 and pppd 2.4.2, and an external,
hardware modem.)

A few minutes ago I logged on to simple.net used links to access
google!!

I sure am looking forward to the day I can dump debian and use
only BL. And to all that I will learn getting there.

Can't access gmail with it, but I am more inclined to look for
another mail service than to install SSL/STARTTLS and all that
stuff.
