HELPPPPPPPPPPPP

I am a newbie to Linux.

I need some help.

I cannot even dial up to an ISP let alone get mgetty working. I am so
useless at Linux and I have been trying to learn this damn operating system
for ages. All I want to do is connect this machine on to the internet using
a modem. The system is this :

Celeron based clone machine with a generic modem on ttyS0 (using at&f)

Dial script is this:

Exec /usr/sbin/pppd connect \
	'/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript' \
	-detach crtscts 196.25.131.22: modem defaultroute \
	user root \
	/dev/ttyS0 115200

where chatscript is this:

TIMEOUT 5
"" AT&F
OK ATDT0,2350000
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT WAITING
TIMEOUT 45
CONNECT ""
TIMEOUT 5
"name:" ppp

In messages its fine until its tries to connect "ppp0 <----> ttyS0" and then
the connection disconnects with the message Dialin script fialed. In
messages it just says modem hangup, connection terminated.

I know this is off the subject of mgetty but I need to learn how to walk
before I can run.
