I have tried to connect to my Internet server, several times in the last 18 months. The closest I came was with Caldera, possibly 1.3 on an old 486. Attglobal.net has a complex log-on set up, and I was simply unable to figure it out.

Recently, at http://help/attbusiness.net/helplib/linuxs.html they had some new info on a SLIP script that seemed it might help. So, I started to work with it

I am using an old USRobotics Sportster 28.8 Fax Modem. It works fine with Win98. Drake 8.0.

I do not even get to the complex log-on stuff. The sucker does not wait for the dial-tone. It starts going beeplety-bop-bop even if it's not connected to the phone line. If it is connected to the phone line, it doesn't dial; it just starts talking, and the phone sees the beep-bop tones as dialing, and rejects it.

For some reason, I can't find anything, or my mind is blank, on modem stuff.

Below is the script record I get when I run it. (Type script filename <enter> at the terminal prompt, and all terminal action is sent to the file filename until you type exit <enter>.) I EDITED ALL THE IRRLEVANT LINES.

So, my problem is clearly basic modem stuff, not attglobal.net. I will be in Mexico City next week, with an old Motorola modem, but each phone connection will cost me 15 cents, so I am hoping I can get it working here.

I realize it could be a bad modem. The settings for modem dip switches are printed on modem, and nothing there seems to involve this problem; also modem works on Win 98.

Any tips, or successful dip scripts for slip?

/usr/sbin/slip.dip follows.

I enable dip operation with command: dip -v /usr/sbin/slip.dip
