demon.chat

Before the advent of ADSL, I used a dial-up connection to access the Internet. I connected to Demon Internet from my Linux System using PPP with these scripts.

The demon script establishes a PPP link on the /dev/cua device. PPP calls chat to dial Demon.

The chat program is controlled by the script in /etc/ppp/demon.chat

The AT commands set up my USRobotics Sportster 14,400 Fax Modem. The ATD command dials Demon. You will have to replace hostname and password with your own values. Once chat has logged in, it starts the remote PPP daemon.
