A Working pppd Connection
The following is the output you should see from various commands while a correctly configured ppp connection is open.

Your computer at home should show something like the following. With no ppp connection, the lo section would be the only part displayed.

The output from route on your computer at home.
Without a ppp connection, only the loopback route (127.0.0.0) is shown.
Without a ppp connection, only the loopback route (127.0.0.0) is shown.

The actual output looks like this...Apr 20 15:57:58 localhost pppd[479]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0...however I've removed the date and hostname for brevity.
The first part is the output from chat.

If your chap-secrets file is missing or incorrect, you might see something like this after it switches to ppp:
pppd[3370]: Serial connection established. pppd[3370]: using channel 1 pppd[3370]: Using interface ppp0 pppd[3370]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem pppd[3370]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1] pppd[3370]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 < 00 04 00 00> ] pppd[3370]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x1 < 00 04 00 00> ] pppd[3370]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 ] pppd[3370]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x2 ] pppd[3370]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x2 ] pppd[3370]: rcvd [CHAP Challenge id=0x1 , name = "tnt3.cbr1"] pppd[3370]: No CHAP secret found for authenticating us to tnt3.cbr1 pppd[3370]: sent [CHAP Response id=0x1 <68937d227c92b8d9b8b7f64d83214a1a>, name = "amcbeal"] pppd[3370]: rcvd [CHAP Failure id=0x1 "\000"] pppd[3370]: Remote message: ^@ pppd[3370]: CHAP authentication failed pppd[3370]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "Failed to authenticate ourselves to peer"] pppd[3370]: rcvd [LCP TermAck id=0x2] pppd[3370]: Connection terminated. pppd[3370]: Exit.
If you try to connect to a server and the string <auth chap 80> shows up in the ppplog file, it probably means the server is using a Microsoft variation of CHAP called MSCHAP. You will need to recompile pppd to support this. See README.MSCHAP80 in the pppd source. Fortunately OzEmail does not use MSCHAP so I haven't had to deal with it.
