Trouble-shooting the Script

Given that your modem is working properly, dial-up networking may fail if the script isn't set up properly for your Math account. If this is the case you can trouble-shoot your script by enabling the Step through script option in the Scripting tab of the connection properties. When trying to connect, a window will pop-up showing the script, which you can then execute line-by-line to see where the script fails. There are two things you may need to change in the script:

1. In the example script, it is assumed that your Math account prompt looks like this:
2. 
    

    

   ame2$

   If your Math account prompt is different (e.g. ame2.math.arizona.edu%) you will need to type it verbatim into your script: look for the waitfor "ame2$ " line in the script and replace ame2$ with your prompt.
    

3. If /usr/local/bin is not in your Math account path (check using the command echo $PATH), the slirp command will not execute and you will never establish the dial-up networking connection. One way to remedy this is to edit the script by replacing the slirplogin entry with /usr/local/bin/slirplogin
4. 
    
5. Make sure the script is saved with the extension .scp and not .txt. The dial up adapter will not recognize commands from a text file (.txt). In order to ensure this extension in Notepad, change the Save as type option when saving from Text Document to All Files (*.*) and manually type the .scp extension onto the file name. This should only be a problem if the script was modified in some way or manually typed on your computer.
