I set it up to dial into my ISP (the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook are first-class BTW, I followed them from start to finish, rebooted and dialled in first time - well done whoever wrote them ), and it all works OK apart from one small problem, which is annoying more than anything else. When a connection is made I get the prompt "ppp on marder-1" (lower case 'ppp'), eventually this changes to "PPP on marder-1" (upper case 'PPP') which, if I understand it correctly means that I am now logged into the network. However I still get "host has no DNS entry" when I try to access a Web page and "no route to server" if I ping the ISP's nameserver. But, if I type "add HISADDR 0 0" at the ppp prompt everything works OK. The entry in my ppp.conf is as per the example in the handbook (except for the phone no. etc.) which includes the 'add...' string. It would appear that it is necessary to wait before sending this string, but I can't work out how to do this in the ppp.conf entry. Any ideas? My second problem is that I need to dial into the network at work. The modem I dial into (USR Courier v.34) has the password set on it but I never get to see the password prompt. In Windoze NT4 I simply cloned the phonebook entry for my ISP, changed the phone no. and added the option to pop-up a terminal window after dialling. The modems' password prompt appears in this window, enter the password, dismiss the terminal window and NT logs me into the network. How do I get to enter the modem password using FreeBSD's user PPP?
