Unix shell accounts don't do ppp.  If you're using web spider to connect
to a shell account, you're going to have a *lot* of difficulties.
About the only way this would work is if the shell offered something like
slurp or tia to emulate a ppp connection even though you're not actually
on one.  Otherwise, you can't do it.  Use a terminal program instead,
it'll work much better.
