Not really.  I am using a response file, and in it, I specify:
[PPPDIAL_DO_NOT_USE_DIALER]
I also have a .prm passed to PPPDIAL:
(CONNATT.PRM)
mru 1500
rtscts
modem
defaultroute
priority 1
notify
exit
user "xxxxxxxxx@worldnet.att.net"
name "xxxxxxxxx@worldnet.att.net"
secret "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Hmmm!  I just noticed that I have some duplicate entries between the pppdial 
commandline and the connatt.prm file.  I'd better clean that up first, then 
start crying again.
