Fixed my problem
Authored by: progers@alumni.u on Jun 17, '02 08:29:48PM

Ok, I fixed my own problem. The first thing I should have done is learn how to read. I completely ignored the previous posters advice about quoting my user name which did contain an '@'.

My real problem was that ps doesn't show double quoted arguments with the quotes - just the space. All of the connect options are supposed to reference "an executable shell command ... to set up the serial line". This command is /usr/libexec/CCLEngine. The weird options I was seing weren't being passed to pppd, but CCLEngine. So if you try this (and I know you want to) remember to double quote everything from CCLEngine to the next ppd option. It should look something like this:

#!/bin/sh

sudo pppd serviceid 0 logfile /tmp/ppp.log /dev/cu.modem 115200 connect "/usr/libexec/CCLEngine -l 0 -f '/Library/Modem Scripts/Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.34)' -T '4165555555' -E -S 150 -s 0

Hope this helps somebody. Now I have to figure out how to get my airport to broadcast through the aluminum siding on my house...
