I'll post them to the entire group, for you & others who've ask for them.

One correction, I used an ISP that used Michnet as their backbone.
I didn't use Michnet directly.  I don't know if that makes a difference.

The files are between the dashed lines:

/etc/ppp/options
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
connect /etc/ppp/ppp-connect.ark
/dev/modem
38400
crtscts
modem
lock
asyncmap 0
mtu 552
mru 552
defaultroute
netmask 255.255.255.0
debug
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


/etc/ppp/ppp-connect.ark    (change permissions to be executable)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# A chat script to login to the XYZ PPP server.
#
/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-ark
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
	sleep 3
	/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-ark
done
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

/etc/ppp/chat-ark
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABORT 'NO ANSWER' 
ABORT BUSY 
ABORT 'NO CARRIER' 
TIMEOUT 9 "" ATM1L0X3\\V0 OK-AT-OK ATDT3872070
TIMEOUT 30 ost:--ost: ppp
TIMEOUT 10 ogin:--ogin: USERID
TIMEOUT 10 assword: \qPASSWORD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace USERID and PASSWORD with your real user/password,
and leave the '\q' directly in front of your password.

I don't show my files needing PAP or CHAP authorization for Michnet.
If you do, put the following line in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
USERID * PASSWORD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same goes if you need CHAP authorization.
Same line, filename is /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

To connect just type "pppd" as root (or make it SUID).
to disconnect:   kill -INT `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`
You can make the disconnect an alias or script.

Check the log file:  /var/log/messages  for debugging
information about your connection.   Good Luck!
