Enter the ' as \' -- just as you would do if you were writing a chat
script. I *think* that will work. I seem to remember testing the
PPP setup in the new netcfg using a password with a ' in it, and it
worked.
(It's debatable whether this is the right approach; however, I want to
allow people to insert pauses and such with backslash sequences, so
I couldn't just escape everything escapable in chat strings.)
