PPP/chat script problems

I am trying to automate a PPP connection using a chat script that was created by pppsetup.  I can manually create a chat script, but the problem is that the script sends ^M with the modem commands which confuses my modem and eventually times out the script.  Here is the script I am trying and the output.

#ppp.chatscript
TIMEOUT 10
ABORT ERROR
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
REPORT CONNECT
"" "AT&F0" OK
OK "ATD*70,3425710" OK
TIMEOUT 75
CONNECT ""
ogin: *******
assword: *******

#results of running ppp-go -v
timeout set to 10 seconds
abort on (ERROR)
abort on (BUSY)
abort on (NO CARRIER)
abort on (NO DIALTONE)
report (CONNECT)
send (AT&F1^M)
expect (OK)
alarm
Failed

No I assumed the problem was the ^M it was sending with the modem, but maybe thats just a carriage return, anyhow it doesn't work, but I can get it to work manually (via minicom and pppd).

Any ideas?

ASKER

that second sentence should say, "I can manually create a PPP connection".  Its kinda late, so excuse the mistake.
After REPORT CONNECT
then you have
"" "AT&F0" OK
Then the mistake is OK
it should be

"ATDT70,3425710" "CONNECT"
"" ogin:
"the user id" "assword:"
"the password" ""

The TIMEOUT parameter should be at start







Still didnt work.  I tried this (which is what I thought you were trying to tell me).

TIMEOUT 10
ABORT ERROR
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
REPORT CONNECT
"" "AT&F0" "ATD*70,3425710" OK
CONNECT "" 
ogin: *******
assword: *******

And I tried again without the AT&F0 line altogether.  Still says Alarm and Failed.
