To be honest I've never bothered with script-based logins - too much 
hassle.

I just set up pppd, pop my account details in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and 
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets and let it deal with it :-)  It's simple.  It 
works.  By and large it works cross-platform too - I can use much the 
same options and scripts on OpenBSD and Linux.

This is why I never used anything but pppd :-)
