Try doing it without a script first; Fire up minicom. Call your ISP,
do whatever you have to do to get PPP running (until you see the weird
characters). Exit minicom with a CTRL-A-Q (not CTRL-A-X), which will
leave your modem connected. Then, type: 'pppd /dev/modem 38400 defaultroute'.
This assumes /dev/modem is a link to the appropriate cua. 38400 can
be modified according to the speed of your modem.

Wait a few seconds, and type ifconfig. If you see ppp0 in addition
to lo, you're in. Take care to modify /etc/resolv.conf for the domainname
and nameserver.
