I see.
1. Disable routed in /etc/rc.conf. You don't want it for your setup.
2. In your ISP's PPP profile, put 'set timeout 0' to disable the timeout.
3. After you successfully connect, you need to enter the command
'add 0 0 HISADDR' to add the appropriate default route.
4. Set your DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf. It should look something
like this...
domain uoregon.edu
nameserver 128.223.170.28
nameserver 128.223.32.35
Obviously set as appropriate.
That should get you going.
