I actually want to dial to my_isp from rc.conf. If I delete the
"default" profile, then I need to copy those 2 lines in that profile
to the "my_isp" profile?

Than you again,

Mauricio 

PD: This is my ppp.conf:

server:~ $ sudo cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
default:
 set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255

my_isp:
 set device PPPoE:fxp0 # replace fxp0 with your Ethernet device
 set mtu 1492
 set mru 1492
 enable mssfixup
 set ctsrts off
 set speed sync
 disable acfcomp protocomp
 deny acfcomp
 set authname xxxxxxxx
 set authkey yyyyyyyyy
 add default HISADDR
# enable lqr
 disable ipv6cp
# set lqrperiod 5
 enable dns
server:~ $
