setting up gprs properly

[Ed Kapitein]

Hi Robin,

If you run pppd with the "nodetach" and "debug" parameters manually, you
will get quiet a bit of information about which authentication protocols
are tried.
You need to set up a connection file in (default in /etc/ppp/peers) 
with the details about the connection.
And a  chat script to handle setting up the connection ( eq
/etc/ppp/gprs-connect-chat )

Good luck with your trouble shooting!

Kind regards,
Ed
