     I'm using user ppp in FreeBSD 2.1 for net access through a Compuserve
account.
     
     I can manually dial in from the ppp prompt using 'term'.  The
connections pings correctly and I can telnet,ftp,

and use Netscape, etc.  But I can't get the syntax for the login script
right.  There's examples in the 
documentation but I don't know how to deal with the 'GO:PPPCONNECT'
statement.

     I'd love a peek at the 'set login' line of the 'ppp.conf' of a CIS
user who's got this figured out.

                                               Thanks,
                                                             Jamie
