Greetings, Steven...
 Steven Cox hastily said to David Durgee:
 SC>>> I am using OS/2 & PPPDIAL with PPP in a command line session.
 SC>>> I never get a promt for login ID or password.
 DD>> Is it possible that the ISP is going directly into PPP?  If so, write
 DD>> your PPPDIAL RSP file to have only the line "GO" in it.
 SC> This did not work either.  I thought it was going to but I get
 SC> disconected.
 SC> Thanks for trying!
I recall seeing discussion not too long ago in this echo about a program 
called "PPPFAKE" that you could use to determine what your ISP's system is 
looking for.  I think you connected to the ISP with it, and it would display 
the prompts that were being sent.  I haven't had any occasion to use it 
myself, but I understand it did solve a lot of this type of problem...  (I 
guess if you know what's coming, you can accommodate it in your script).  You 
might find it on a your nearby OS/2 supportive BBS, or if you can somehow get 
to the internet, on Gary Hamer's "Must-have Utilities" site, or possibly on 
the CincyTeamOS/2 Master Updates site.  Unfortunately, I don't recall the 
exact name of the file, but someone here might..
