A friend of mine is trying to connect to a free internet service
and is having problems. Here is a message she sent to another list.
Any ideas? Thanks - Marc

I recently found out that you can get free internet access through freei.net,
so I thought I'd change internet providers. However, I'm having problems
getting connected using this new service. I am using a chat script, and I
can login successfully (sending my username and password) but am having
problems after that. It says that they use "Annex Command Line Interpreter"
and when I get the prompt "annex:" I'm not exactly sure what to send next.
I tried sending the command "ppp" but after it says "Switching to PPP"
nothing happens and my connection is eventually teminated. This is
what I find in /var/log/messages:
Jan 4 20:31:43 TnT chat[331]: expect (annex:)
Jan 4 20:31:43 TnT chat[331]: ^M
Jan 4 20:31:43 TnT chat[331]: annex: -- got it

Jan 4 20:32:20 TnT pppd[330]: Connection terminated.
Jan 4 20:32:20 TnT pppd[330]: Exit.
In my chat script I added an extra line "test" to see if I needed to send
anything else and this is what I get:
Jan 4 20:35:19 TnT chat[343]: expect (annex:)
Jan 4 20:35:19 TnT chat[343]: ^M

Jan 4 20:35:41 TnT pppd[342]: Connect script failed

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
