["Arun K Desai" <arun_desai@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pinku,
Oooops at last i am able to run the chatscript.
Thax for ur time & help.

Now i am facing  another prblem :


  I am working on RedHat Linux 6.0 & C.
   
  
>> But my probelm is when i run pppd with chatscript
>>  $/usr/sbin/pppd connect "chat -f chatscript" 
>> /dev/cua0

Now i am able to run chatscript on m/c1 &  after authentication it is starting pppd.So pppd starts sending LCP-packets to m/c2...After some time pppd dies bcoz there won't be any pppd on m/c2 to respond to this pppd request

So i want to start pppd on m/c2 as soon as pppd starts on m/c1(after chat runs. on m/c1.).
I know that it can be achied by putting /usr/sbin/pppd instead of /bin/bash  in "/etc/ passwd"

This is working when i use telnet & login as usual procedure.But when i run  pppd with chat script it is not running....

Where i am  wrong???????
    
 Thax in advance for any help & ur time.
 
                With Best Regards,
                         Arun.K.Desai.
