Trying to setup PPP over ISDN



Ok.  I've been successful in the past setting up Linux to dialup my ISP and
get me on the internet.   I used a 33.6 modem, and logged on to my ISP over
a regular old telephone line.   After dialing, my ISP would come up with a
"logon:" prompt and I wrote a script to enter this in, along with my
password at the "password:" prompt.  After I logged in, it would give me a
">" prompt and I would have my script enter in "ppp" and then PPP would
work, and I'd be in business.

That was before ISDN.  Now, instead of dialing up using an internal 33.6
modem, I'm using an external DIVA ISDN modem on CUA0.  I can get it to work
in Minicom, and can even get it to dialout.  Thing is, my new ISP (NET-LINK)
doesn't give me all these great prompts and stuff, as soon as I dial up it
just starts giving me random characters (looks like line noise, probably the
ISP trying to negotiate with my computer some how).  I have no idea how to
modify my script to send it my account name and password.

I have been through the "ISDN-MINIHOWTO" with little luck.  I've also been
through "Bruce Smith's PPP-Minihowto", but I get stuck at when trying to
enter in "route add default ppp0".  It tells me that it doesn't exist.  I'm
sure there is an easy fix for this, but It's not comming to me.  Can anyone
point me in the correct direction?

Thanks.
