What are you using to edit the script?  If you are using a GUI frontend (like linuxconf) it might be stripping the "\"'s before they are written to the script file.

Find the script (probably in /etc/ppp) and check.  Edit in a text editor if they're not in there.

I am using a Linux (RedHat 6) to dial into a SCO UNIX (Openserver 5) and connect via PPP/chat.<br />
<br />
Everything is OK except 1 small point. My CHAT script falls over because of the SCO box flushing out the modem responses. This is documented and I need to put in delays into the script: <br />
<br />
e.g. ogin: MYUSERNAME assword: MYPASSWORD<br />
<br />
becomes<br />
<br />
ogin: \d\dMYUSERNAME assword: \d\dMYPASSWORD<br />
<br />
However my tail -f var/log/messages tells me that the username being sent is in fact ddMYUSERNAME. For some reason the backslash is being ignored and not acting as an escape character. And of course the required delay is not happening.<br />
<br />
Any ideas? Thanks

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
