Dec 14 16:43:15 gateway chat[362]: Password -- got it Dec 14 16:43:15 gateway chat[362]: send (MyPassWoRd^M) So it seems it is not hiding the sent password as it should do when the password is preceeded by \q in /etc/ppp.chatscript.
If you put \q in the previous line eg.: -8<--- OK ATDTisp-number ogin: \qMyUsername assword: MyPassword -8<--- It worked for me this way. This may be a bug in pppd but the 'workaround' is easy.:) BTW in my opinion it's better to use PAP etc... C'ya! Peter Tarbaj
