I could be wrong, but doesn't he need two As in the device names? That is, cuaa0 and cuaa1. Another thing I noticed was the discrepancy Jim asked about in the two dialup examples he originally posted: ---------------------- 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" ---------------------- Looks like in the first example, the dialup server asks the user to specify a protocol (hence "col: ppp") and in the second one it doesn't. Exactly what this line should be depends on the behavior of your ISP's dialup service. I figured mine out by dialing in manually with a terminal emulator, and noting exactly what text it emitted and what response it was looking for.
