Hello,

I just cvsup'd and did a "make world" successfully to 3.3-Stable this 
afternoon and now I am trying to connect to the internet again.

I know it worked before hand, and I am pretty sure I used the connection 
afterwards, but not certain.  I left for work and when I returned I 
started to get an error and have not been able to connect since.  My 
modem is a external Boca 33.6 that I have had success with since 3.1.

Here is my ppp.conf:

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT ...."
isp:
 set phone 1234567
 set timeout 0
 set authname username
 set authkey password
 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


Here is the command I use to start PPP:

# ppp isp
# ppp ON myname> dial
# ppp on myname>

and it just sits there doing nothing.

Here is my info from my ppp.log file:

Phase: Using interface: tun0
Phase: deflink: Created in closed state
tun0: Command: default: set device /dev/cuaa0
tun0: Command: default: set speed 115200
tun0: Command: default: set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT ....
tun0: Command: isp: set phone 1234567
tun0: Command: isp: set timeout 0
tun0: Command: isp: set authname username
tun0: Command: isp: set authkey password
tun0: Command: isp: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
tun0: Command: isp: add default HISADDR
tun0: Command: isp: enable dns
tun0: Phase: PPP started (Interactive mode)
tun0: Command: /dev/tty: term
tun0: Phase: bundle: Establish
tun0: Phase: deflink: closed -> opening
tun0: Phase: /dev/cuaa0 is in use: uu_lock creat error: No such file or 
directory
tun0: Chat: Failed to open device
tun0: Phase: deflink: opening -> closed
tun0: Phase: bundle: Dead
tun0: Command: /dev/tty: quit
tun0: Phase: PPP Terminated (normal)


cuaa0 exists (dmesg reports it found and I did a MAKEDEV) but when I try 
a manual ppp with term I dont see the lights on the modem acting up in 
response.  What might be the solution to this?  I did not see anything in 
the archives specifically regarding this.  

Thanks.

-Neill
