What you wrote works fine, except that I had to use "papchap" label instead of "dialisp" and I also had to include ppp_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. Now my only question is that, why my configuration was obsolete? I noticed that the example file installed by default is from 1999. :-) Thanks, Laszlo
