I'm setting up and Adsl PPTP connection to my ISP. The adsl modem I'm currently using is an Alcatel Speed Touch Home. That modem has a phonebook, that refers to a particular ATM virtual channel to use. I enlists five entries in my case: RELAY_PPP1 RELAY_PPP2 RELAY_PPP3 RELAY_PPP4 MyISP 'MyISP' is the label that identifies the correct ATM Vc to my Isp. The generic Pptp client should be able to pick up the right label for the specific Isp connection. My question is: ----------- How pptp can address the use of the suitable label within its comamnd line? Also consider that using the following command won't work in my case: # pptp MyISP PPPLabel MyISP is the label and the symbolic for the ip address of the ethernet interface of the modem. PPPLabel is the ppp.conf label being used for authentication and ppp setup. What I got is the pptp client selects haphazardly the first available modem phonebook entry, resulting a fail 4 times in five. OS version is FreeBSD is 4.1-REL PPP is user 2.26 PPTP is FreeBSD distribution 1.0.2 Great thanks for any hint! -- Marco To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
