RAS and SLIP?!? Help!

[leonard kay]

This is a repost from the other day, with my script added at the bottom.

Can someone here lend a hand? I can't seem to get my switch.inf script
for RAS under 3.51 to login correctly to my SLIP account. I've followed
the threads here about RAS and none seem to fit me. Oh yeah, this is a
dialup line, I'm using a 14.4 US Robotics modem which acts normal in every
respect under NT....

What happens.... I do get my switch.inf file to start correctly, it
proceeds to capture the Username and Password strings, but the popup
dialog box that says 'Verifying Username and Password' never goes away.

When I check the device.log file, I see that it indeed got past the Password:
prompt and gave me the final response which blats my IP address. I
should be all hooked up at that point, but the machine just sits there
stupidly still saying 'Verifying Username and Password'.

I called the guy at the help desk at my Internet provider, and he had no
clue. I was the first person he had talked to who was using Win NT.

Any ideas appreciated. A copy of my SWITCH.INF file (sans comments) is
below.

I had this problem - remove the LOOP=<ignore lines> and the uncommented
blank lines. When I did that my script started to work.

You have probably also noticed your typo /sername/surname/

Here is one that works for me:

[VOICENET]
COMMAND=
OK=<match>"username: "
ERROR_NO_CARRIER=<match>"NO CARRIER"
LOOP=<ignore>
COMMAND=username<cr>
OK=<match>"password: "
COMMAND=password<cr>
OK=<match>"Enter Service: "
COMMAND=ppp<cr>
CONNECT=<match>"Switching to PPP."

Also, I set Accept any authentication including clear text, and
authenticate using current user name and password. This gets me in
with no intervention on my part.
