Lines: 21 Message-ID: <01bb6ecb.baf119c0$38673fcb@simonh.addease.com.au> Reply-To: "Simon Harris" <simonh@interconnect.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: simonh.mel.interconnect.com.au X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1085 My ISP login looks like the following: Username:$name Password: $password $xxxxx> PPP $name Server nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn translating $name to ......... Password: $password where $name is my username, $password is my password and $xxxxx is a string that changes for every logon. because $xxxxx changes, I can only search for '>' but the script appears to bum out when looking for '>' with 'login failed'. If I go into terminal mode, I can type: PPP $name and it aks for my password and I all is dandy. This implies that the script has not found the '>'? Any and all help appreciated. Regards Simon.
