Yeah, I used ppp-on for the most part as well, until recently when my
existing ppp-on scripts just stopped working and I couldn't figure out why.
They didn't seem to be doing the chat phase correctly.  I could manually
dial and login and get the PPP session, but ppp-on/chat didn't seem to be
doing the same thing.

That's why I switched to wvdial.  It took me a lot less time to get wvdial
working than I had spent on trying to get ppp-on working again.
