[ale] ATLNET

[Dow Hurst]

Have you tried wvdial in stupid mode?  I did have some old info from
connecting an IRIX box via modem to Compuserve.  I could dig that up if
necessary, I think.  It may be gone though.  Wvdial is pretty smart at
figuring out what the pppd on the other end is wanting.  Worth a try at
least.  Keep us posted on your efforts.  I usually expect a login
prompt, then a password prompt, after this I expect a "~" since that is
always in a PPP packet.  Works like a charm on mindspring dialups.
