I had some problems dialing up, a while ago. In one situation
that I was using a gui dialup, I had to tell it to send "\n"
[ENTER] key.
The other thing.. the isp told me that they used CHAP,
and so I went on trying CHAP, and fiddling with other settings,
trying to connect.
Then I tried _not_ using CHAP, and connected. I never figured that one out.
