These commands set on what strings the script aborts. i.e. if the modem 
returns NO CARRIER etc.

These here are the modem (AT) comands

The first string is what the script waits to receive, in this case, nothing.

Not sure what these two do. :)

Wait for OK, then dial (DT = Dial using Tone Dialling) 0191011 which is not a 
valid number. Chances are it gets the "Sorry, the number you have dialled..." 
woman and waits for a "CONNECT" string that will never arrive, then times out.

Hmm, ATZ should leave the speaker on, maybe one of the other commands is 
turning it off, or the modem may not have a speaker.

I use the Debian pppconfig script at the moment, although I have used wvdial 
before. Most methods as complex as each other really, although I heard kppp 
was good.
