?? I think you're getting something wrong here. kppp is meant to be
usable especially for those who *don't* want to go trough the trouble
setting up a chat script. If you already have a working chat&pppd
script, that's fine. Why switch ? And don't forget that the
possibilities of chat are quite limited. It can't be used for my
university's server for example.
