/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 115200
 disable lqr
 deny lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 45 CONNECT"
 set debug Phase Chat LCP

demon:
 set phone 901716640666
 set login "TIMEOUT 10 login:-\\r-login: awfulhak word: xxxxxxxx ocol: PPP TIMEOUT 60 HELLO"
 set dfilter 0 permit 0/0 158.152.1.222
 set timeout 600
 set openmode active
 set ifaddr 158.152.17.1 158.152.1.222/16
 delete ALL

/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup:
demon:
