Which books do you have, The Complete FreeBSD? Are you using UserPPP or Kernel PPP? Personally I had a very hard time getting Kernel PPP to do anything(including dial) and eventually ended up stuck with it not being able to connect via PAP or CHAP. I use the User PPP program to connect. When you type in ppp, what happens? Ian As told by, fgsfgs erdfa > Hello, > I have been trying to get ppp to work for quite some time now (about 3 weeks > if not more).
