I can post on questions, but this is a newbie issue in a way too. There should be imo ready made scripts or config instructions avail. for the top 20 isp. what a time saver that would be. I have nothing againts knowing what's going on under the hood and i buy $50 books to that end. Would someone please allow me to email them personally and help me connect to my ISP. My isp uses login authentication NOT pap/chap, and recommends kernel ppp (pppd) for this purpose. All the documention I see for this case cites hacking two files: /etc/ppp/options AND /etc/ppp/chat.script. Note: there is no mention of ppp.conf anywhere for kernel ppp. The lehey book and freebsd unleashed cites to use ppp.conf for user ppp,w/pap/chap ONLY. Unless something about ppp.conf has radically changed that none of my books cite. Please do not mention ppp.conf file. The literature does not indicate it for kernel ppp w/login authentication. So I copied the chat and options directly from Unleashed w/slight mods. per my modem device and isp. I chmoded (750) appropiately to be able to use the /dev and the files as (rwx)root, I am su root ( wheel grouP) as i try this. I do # ppd There's no modem "statup" ie. modem noises - it never gets that far. I get the error message: "Connection Script failed". I have spent two days strait so far w/FreeBSD trying to connect, I would appreciate help. Here's the files: options: /dev/cuaa4 115200 crtscts modem connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat.script" noipdefault defaultroute Note: there's no sbin/chat file on my pc I have no idea what that above connect line's doing, I can't find any explaination (yes I've #man chat) THe chat script is one line but I break it up here. I overwrite my isp# and user,pw w/ones. ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' "" AT OK ATDT1111111 CONNECT "" TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: 1111 TIMEOUT 5 sword: 1111 What is wrong? The modem is not even getting "turned on". I can log in fine w. Minicom on cuaa4. I've had to create both options and the chat.script they were not there by default. I'm begining to rip out hair.
