(usr-tc) chat_script syntax

We've been killing ourselves trying to find reference for chat_script(s) for
hiper arc.

We're trying to make the hiper TC emulate what our netserver and portmaster
boxes do.

Users have three choices when they connect:

>>>
- Blue Moon X2/V.90 -

Select HOST:

ppp
shell
bbs

Type new to register for net access.
<<<

shell telnets them into our shell box, BBS rlogins them into our BBS machine
and new is a new user program which runs on a unix box to allow text terminals
to register for access. "ppp" obviously starts a PPP session.

PortMaster3 > sh user new
     Username: new                                Type: Login User
         Host: dec                       Login Service: rlogin (513)

PortMaster3 > sh ta user
                                              Netmask/
Name     Type             Address/Host        Service     RIP
-------- ---------------- ------------------- ----------  ---
new      Login User       dec                 Rlogin
NEW      Login User       dec                 Rlogin
shell    Login User       dec                 Telnet
bbs      Login User       bbs                 Rlogin


The only reference I have found for chat_script is one from the list archives
which didn't work. It's auth line looks like this:

AUTHENTICAT LOGIN_BANNER=""LOGIN_PROMPT="Username:";

Which just does a "Chat Script Operation done, but verification failed" no
matter how many changes I make to that line. I did find out by trial and error
that the single command "PPP;" starts up an unauthenticated PPP session which
is obviously no good unless you give away free internet.

I have been able to find ZERO documentation on chat_script syntax and options.
I must have a functioning host prompt (host:) which also allows radius
authed PPP sessions to be started for legacy compatibility with user scripts.

How the hell do I do this on a HARC TC?

Anyone want to buy a brand new hiper chassis with 48 ports? I am so fed up with
this thing and 3com that I'm ready to take a bath to be shut of it for once
and for all. I was told by my rep at one of USR's biggest sellers that hiper
was 100% backward compatible with ComOS' syntax. This tc hiper (POS) has made
me miserable and has been holding up adding more dialups.

If I can't get this thing going the way it ought to be this week I will get rid
of it for another PM3 which have been great boxes for us since the modem
code stabilized. I also have a netserver TC which is easy to deal with as it
uses ComOS for its OS. Damn USR/3Com for their hiper nightmare.
