Hey guys just wondering if anyone can offer some help or prehaps suggest a different dialer program that works with DSL or point me in the direction of how to write the old style connect/disconnect scripts.
Finally got my project of DSL on compact flash to work, just a slight problem trying to connect to the net. Using a winmodem which seems to work fine..can manually give it commands using minicom.. but when i try to connect using the the DSL dialer the commands seem to get '^m' in them which seems to cause problems. chat sends ATZ and the modem replies with OK^m, then chat sends ATDT****^m^m and the modem only dials half the number. Like i said works fine in minicom and i can dial fine..so prehaps if i could remember how to write my own chatscript and dialup scripts for pppd i might be able to get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is really annoying me

Thanks in advance,
Clive

It looks like your files were written or edited on a Windows machine.
Try converting them to unix:

Code Sample

sudo su
for i in `find /opt/ppp/ -type f`; do dos2unix $i; done
