I have been working on getting FBSD to dial up my ISP so I can access the internet...you know, browse, ftp, telnet, etc. I am running FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE on a Dell Lattitude CPi. I have been following the instructions in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ppp-and-slip.html as well as reading the other sources. The fact that the modem is on a pcmcia card may or may not be part of the problem, but let me first proceed to give a description of the state of ppp and my current results. Following the instructions from the Pedanitc PPP primer and the ppp-and-slip document I have: --- pseudo-device tun 1 (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL) --- curly:31> ifconfig -a lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 --- the /etc/host.conf file contains hosts bind --- the /etc/hosts file contains 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain myname.my.domain 10.0.0.1 curly.my.domain curly --- I had to create the /etc/resolv.conf file. It now contains nameserver 208.235.88.5 nameserver 208.235.89.5 These numbers are the primary and secondary dns numbers given to me by by isp. --- The /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file contains default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command #set device /dev/cuaa2 set device /dev/zp2 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" provider: set phone 5555555 #mydialupnumber set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: myusername word: mypassword col: ppp" set timeout 300 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR enable dns --- where 5555555 is my actual isp dial up phone number, myusername is my actual username and mypassword is my actual password. I have some questions about the contents of this file - /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Particularly the set login line. The ppp-and-slip document gives the following as an example: set login "TIMEOUT 10 \"\" \"\" gin:--gin: foo work: bar col: ppp" The /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample gives a different version of this line: set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: ppp word: ppp" I suspect that my version is wrong, but I could use some assistance. I used the ppp-and-slip example becuase I it told me what the username and password entries were. I could not figure this out from the ppp.conf.sample file. Also, I am not sure if I should not istead be using the PAPorCHAP login sequence. If it helps, when I connect to my ISP via W98, I have the 'Use software compression' option checked. Another little detail (I'm new here) I've turned logging on as you can see in the first line of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, but I don't know where to go to read the log results. --- In section 14.1.6 Final system configuration, I have modified the /etc/rc.conf file to contain the following: ifconfig_tun0= router_enable=NO --- And, I have created the /etc/start_if.tun0 file and it contains ppp -auto mysystem --- And, the /etc/sysconfig file contains router=NO --- Now, when I execute ppp I get curly# ppp Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 ppp ON curly> dial qx ppp ON curly> There appears to be no attempt to access the modem or to try dialing when I tell it to dial provider. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim Also, if it helps, here is a copy of the dmesg output Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc.
