Dear colleagues; I'm a Free-BSD user for about two years. A few days ago, I set up usr ppp (iij-ppp) with mgetty+sendfax to make my Free-BSD box a ppp server. At that time I had a problem to be confused what driver I should use for the serial lines (COM ports) due to a conflict of the descriptions in "man ppp" or the document of mgetty with that of the Hand Book of Free-BSD. In "man ppp" and the document of mgetty, cuaa is indicated to use, but in the Hand Book, there is an example of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as papttyd0: enable pap set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.20 255.255.255.255 enable proxy papttyd1: enable pap set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.21 255.255.255.255 enable proxy which is linked from "Mgetty and AutoPPP" in "15.1.5.3. Receiving incoming calls with PPP". From this you may misunderstand that you should use ttyd rather than cuaa. Taking the mechanism of mgetty into account, I think that it is proper to use cuaa, and in fact I have confirmed that ttyd does not work well for this case. So, I think that the above example should be papcuaa0: enable pap set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.20 255.255.255.255 enable proxy ............... ............. Would you please check this point?
