It uses PAP, but logging in via the ppp terminal should have given you a login prompt, too.

I'm using kernel ppp and pppd, not user ppp. They use different file names, but the information in them should be similar. Hopefully you can extract what you need from here. Here's my setup, for better or worse: /etc/ppp/options: auth defaultroute crtscts 115200 modem /dev/cuaa0 lock idle 300 user ELN/<yourname> /etc/ppp/peers/earthlink: noauth connect '/usr/bin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/earthlink.chat' domain earthlink.net /etc/ppp/earthlink.chat: ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT ERROR ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT BUSY ABORT 'Username/Password Incorrect' TIMEOUT 5 '' ATZ OK ATDT<your dialup number> TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT TIMEOUT 5 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: ELN/<yourname> * <yourpassword> No quotes. You need to compile ppp into the kernel, but I think the default kernel has it already compiled in. With those files in place, I just dial "pppd call earthlink" and it dials up and puts me on. -- Derrick Baumer bduk@earthlink.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
