Greetings;

Trying to set up someone with internet access who's interested in trying
out FreeBSD, but only with dial-up access which I've never set up
through FreeBSD.

Went with a Zoom 3049 V.92 on com A/com 1/irq 4 of a Pentium !!! 600
system and configurations as follows:

/etc/resolv.conf as follows:

nameserver <IP address>
nameserver <another IP address>

/etc/ppp/options as follows:

/dev/cuaa0 115200
crtscts
modem
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script"
noipdefault
passive
domain <domain name>
defaultroute

/etc/ppp/login.chat.script as follows:

ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' "" AT+VCID=1 &F OK ATDT<tele number>
CONNECT "" TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: <user name> TIMEOUT 5 sword:
<password>

Upon typing "pppd" through the root shell, the TD and RD light(s) on the
modem go out as the TR light on the modem comes on and after a few good
seconds of not hearing any sort of dial-up, the TD and RD light(s) come
back on as the TR light then stays on whereas the root shell then
returns the error message "connect script failed."  It also creates a
file /etc/ppp/connect-errors with nothing in it and posts the same error
message to /var/log/messages

Just not sure any more and hoping it looks familiar enough to someone,
