NAME
       ppp.Dialers - PPP dialer description file format

DESCRIPTION
       The  file describes how to dial each type of modem attached to the UNIX
       system that is to be made available for outbound PPP  calls.   examines
       it when placing a call to a neighboring machine.

       When  selects  a line from it uses the field to select an entry in from
       which it uses the field to select an entry in then interprets the field
       from that dialer description.

   Format
       Entries	are  one  to  a line; blank lines are ignored.	Comments begin
       with a and extend to the end of the line.   Upper/lower	case  distinc‐
       tions in the dialer field are significant for matching purposes, as are
       strings in the chat script.  Fields on a line are separated by horizon‐
       tal  white  space (blanks or tabs).  If a chat script ends with a back‐
       slash the next line is considered a continuation of  the	 chat  script.
       Continuations may only occur in the midst of a chat script.

       Each entry must contain these fields, in this order:

       dialer	    The	 name of this dialer, to be matched against the dialer
		    field in

       chat-script  A description of the  conversation	that  holds  with  the
		    modem.

   Chat Script Particulars
       A  chat	script takes the form of a space-separated list of expect-send
       pairs.  Each pair consists (at minimum) of a field to expect the end to
       send, then a field to send in response.	Unless a string ends with will
       follow it by sending a carriage return character (ASCII 0x0d).

       Chat scripts are or where the following the hyphen is executed  if  the
       preceding fails to match received text.

       Certain	special	 words	may  be used in the chat script to control the
       behavior of as it attempts to dial.  Both ABORT and TIMEOUT must be  in
       the phase of the chat script.

	      If		       sees  abort-string  while executing the
				       remainder of the chat script, abort the
				       dialing attempt and note the failure in
				       the log file.

	      While executing the current chat script, wait timeout-time
				       seconds for a response before consider‐
				       ing  the	 dialing attempt to have timed
				       out.  Writes  have  a  fixed  60-second
				       timeout.

       The expect-send couplet of 'sets the line parity accordingly:

	      Set  transmission parity based on the parity observed in charac‐
	      ters
			received in strings.  This is the default.

	      Transmit characters with the parity bit set to zero (8 bits,  no
	      parity).

	      Transmit characters with the parity bit set to one.

	      Transmit characters with even parity.

	      Transmit characters with odd parity.

       In  the midst of either an string or a string, gets translated into the
       appropriate control character, and gets translated into x.  Other  spe‐
       cial sequences are:

	      Send or receive a space character (ASCII 0x20).

	      Send or receive a horizontal tab character (ASCII 0x09).

	      Send or receive a line feed character (ASCII 0x0a).

	      Send or receive a carriage return character (ASCII 0x0d).

	      Send or receive a backslash character (ASCII 0x5c).

	      Send or receive a carat character (ASCII 0x5e).

	      Send or receive the single character Ctrl-character (ASCII 0x00
			  through 0x1f).

	      Send or receive a character, specified in octal digits.

	      Pause for .25 second before proceeding (send only).

	      Delay for two seconds before proceeding (send only).

	      Send a break (.25 second of zero bits).

	      Disable hangups (sets CLOCAL or LNOHANG).

	      enable hangups (unsets CLOCAL or LNOHANG) (the default).

	      Don't  append a carriage return character after sending the pre‐
	      ceding string (send only).

	      Don't print succeeding send strings (e.g., a password) in any
			  debugging or logging output.	 Subsequent  sequences
			  toggle mode.

	      Insert the telephone number (found in the fifth field of
			  here.
