How to Create an Executable Chat Program

Note - PPP was removed in the Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 24 release.

Use your text editor to create an executable chat program, such as the preceding example.
Make the chat program executable.
```
# chmod +x /etc/ppp/chatprogram
```
Invoke the chat program.
```
connect /etc/ppp/chatprogram
```
Chat programs do not have to be located within the /etc/ppp file system. You can store chat programs in any location.
