[ale] dialup chatscript failing...help please !

[Jerry Yu]

advantage of the GUI/TUI setup wizard available for many modern
distributions. what distri u r on ?

some old details trickled in. Long time ago at Emory, dial-up to their
RESNET can give you a serial LOGIN shell session or PPP, depending on what
you do around the time CONNECT shows up.
