Could you please have a look at this issue and let me know what you find. I might have missed something on the way.

Hi,

and two questions:

### "/etc/chatscripts/neotel" and error in "pon neotel" ###

# modeminit
'' ATZ

Aug 25 19:13:39 [xxxx]-desktop chat[7288]: send (ATZ^M)

Why it tried to send ATZ^M ?
Normally it need to send ATZ.

As next the "pon neotel" try to send:
Aug 25 19:14:24 [xxxx]-desktop chat[7288]: send (AT^M)
How did they get this?

For it looks like that your "neotel" script has some control character.

You wrote the script direct under your Linux?

Hi bassbluete,

Are you saying that the ATZ must be sent without the [ENTER] ^M
character? How do I send it without the ^M? I am assuming that I
should hex edit the chatscript and ensure that there is no ^M at the
end of the ATZ?

I do not have enough knowledge about the dialing rules to know why ATZ
is sent and then AT. Some insight into that would be welcome.

No, I ran pppconfig and then used it. The configuration is as
pppconfig created it.
I know what you are saying as you get this when you create a file in
some windows editor and then use it in linux.

If there is a control char at the end I will remove it and test again.
At work at the moment though, will try tonight.

Apologies for getting back after such a long time.

I had the connection up but for some or other reason I am now getting "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"
I have a suspicion one of the ubuntu updates screwed it up.

I am working on it. Will get back to you.
