To: freebsd-questions@wcarchive.cdrom.com Date: Wed, 11 Oct 1995 00:05:41 -0600 (MDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1875 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Fellow FreeBSD'ers: I've recently installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 from the CD-ROM on a machine at work. I've been using FreeBSD since 1.0 days, and have had 2.0 up at home since last December. The 2.0.5 CD installation was quite impressive; fast and easy being the keywords. Our router box is currently running BSDI 1.1, and crashes or hangs several times every day. I'd like to upgrade to FBSD 2.0.5, and 2.1 when it is available, but I need to get PPP working. I have one small problem: I can't seem to get iijppp to dial our ISP at work. Dialing manually (using term mode) works flawlessly, but attempting to use the iijppp dialer results in the chat script waiting endless for the first non-null expect string (an OK response from the modem). Yes, I've read the handbook on the web page, and it looks much like the sample files I also haven't gotten to work yet. I've saved the relevant web pages, however, and will review my work tomorrow, when I've regained (semi-) conciousness. As you may have noticed, the man pages for iijppp are not all that clear. If anyone can send me short, clear, concise instructions and/or working sample config files, I'd be very pleased. If I am being silly and should just configure the kernel-level PPP in the manner that my 2.0 system is configured, please tell me. I have no particular bias between the kernel and user level PPPs. Please respond via e-mail if possible; I will summarize and post responses to this mailing list. I know I've not contributed much to this group lately, but I have in the past, and will contribute again once the sailing season is over. ;^) Thanks in advance for your help. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet
