Hello,

I just installed Plan9 on my home PC. The dialin to school bug has
bit me. The remote end uses PAP (to the best of my knowledge) and
needs three pieces info 1) host -> ppp, user, and password. I have
been dialing with FreeBSD  using somrthing like

host:--host:ppp ogin:$user word:$pass 	construct.

The modem also has to be toggled with string (ATS7=45S0=0L1V1&c1E1Q0).
After patching and compiling /sys/src/ip/ppp (as mentioned in archives
info for PAP support), I tried the following

mod=modemcmd (ATS7=45S0=0L1V1&c1E1Q0)
user=myself@domain
pass=xxxxxx

ip/ppp -t $mod -s $host:$user:$pass -uf -p '#t/eia1' -b115200      <-- A
Connect to fiel system, type ctrl-d when done.
...
atdt0
OK
atdt0,7776666^M
(it goes thru dial but no response from the other end..)
BUSY
(has to be killed to get the prompt back)

I have also tried $user:$pass combination in line A but had no success.
Any pointers?
