Thanks for the ppp script. I have a few general questions; not particularly about the script but about the process. While using SuSE 5.0 I upgraded to a diamondmm supraflex 56kflex modem from my old trustworthy USR Sportster 28.799. So I changed a few things in the default ppp-up script which is included as a sample script with one of the networking packages. I could never get the script to dial in at a respectable rate. I would have my isp tech support check the ascend terminal routers and let me know my dialup speed on occasion. Unfortunately, I often was operating at less than my 28.8 or so with the earlier modem. I then decided I would like to use something a little mroe graphical in the hopes that this would give me more control over the exact sequence of events. Using xisp and/or ezppp has helped me immeasurably. So the basic question is... Do people use the ppp scripting tools to get higher connect rates than 28.8? And if so, how did you do it? Is anyone using a 56k modem with a script and if so; how does your script look?
