freebsd stable - Dec 2006 - chat(8) doesn't parse special strings correctly

Hello,

i update my ppp.conf to

        set speed 115200
        #set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\"
AT\
          OK-AT-OK AT%C3M0E1Q0%G1%B56000 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

        set dial "REPORT CONNECT ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT
5 \"\" AT\
          OK-AT-OK AT%C3M0E1Q0%G1%B56000 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

man say's this is the right way to log any answer after CONNECT like
46666/LANP/V.42bis.....
But with the above configuration chat says:

Dec  7 03:20:52 brenner ppp[2691]: tun0: Chat: deflink: Dial attempt 1 of 1
Dec  7 03:20:52 brenner ppp[2691]: tun0: Chat: Expect(30): REPORT
Dec  7 03:20:56 brenner ppp[2691]: tun0: Phase: Signal 15, terminate.

after digging in the source it seem's to me that chat doesn't really
parse the special string "REPORT" and "ABORT" correctly, but
i am not
really sure.

can anyone shed me some light on this or give me hints on this problem?

google tells me not the right informations.......

thanks

cheers

michael

I don't know about 'REPORT', but I've always used something
like:

  set log +connect +chat
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER ABORT NO\\sDIAL TIMEOUT 5
\"\" \
    ATZ OK-ATZ-OK ATE0Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\ \T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT \\c \\n"

where the \\c \\n catches data till newline after the CONNECT, eg:
