How to connect to the Internet?

I found a way to configure my internet-connection via modem - but I do
not found something to start the dial-in-process. Where?

QNX has a terminal program called qtalk.

You can put into its configuration file /etc/config/qtalk the system
you want to call.
Ex:
yourisp ATDT555-1234

To run:
qtalk –m/dev/ser1 yourisp
(this assumes that /dev/ser1 is your modem)

When you will see the prompt for you account login from your ISP, type
it in.
Type in your password when prompted.
After getting logged in hit A
Then hit “x” to exit without hangup.
You can do what ever you want now (assuming that you started Socket
prior & possibly pppd at this point)

BTW, while in qtalk you can send commands directly to the modem, ie
ATH, ATDT555-1234, etc.

If you are dialing a lot you may want to automate the procedure with
the free modem/tty scripting program from QNX called QCL. Get it from
their free download page.

You can get a QCL script to dial (with retry, etc), enter your account
and password, hangup, etc.
With this program & your script combined with shell scripts you can do
a lot with single command.

Unfortunately my provider doesn’t prompt. I think they don’t use SLIP,
they use PPP.

When I use the Standard-Dialer of QNX, it sends the commands ATH and
ATM1 to the modem. Then it waits 5 Seconds, and then I get a “Connection
Failed” message. What is this?
