Hello gurus.  I have been working on this problem for a month and I really
need some help.  I have two FreeBSD boxes sitting right next to each other
connected by a null-modem cable on sio1 on both boxes.  I have pppd 2.2.0 on
one machine and pppd 2.1.2 on the other.  I dont think that makes much of
a difference.  On the "server" my /etc/ppp/options looks like:

crtscts
172.16.0.2:172.16.0.1
domain server.domain1.dom
passive
proxyarp
debug

and on the "client" the /etc/ppp/options look like:

crtscts
noipdefault
domain client.domain2.com
:172.16.0.2
defaultroute

I run "pppd /dev/ttyd1 9600" on the server and it says:

Sep 23 21:48:07 server pppd[386]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Sep 23 21:48:10 server pppd[386]: Using interface ppp0

then I run "pppd /dev/cuaa1 9600" on the client and it says:

Sep 23 21:37:09 client pppd[211]: pppd 2.1.2 started by root, uid 0
Sep 23 21:37:09 client pppd[211]: Using interface ppp0

On both machines it says something to the effect of:

Sep 23 21:48:10 server pppd[386]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd1
Sep 23 21:48:10 server pppd[386]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1
	 <mru 1500> <magic 0x6fda7dbf> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Sep 23 21:48:37 server last message repeated 9 times
Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: Modem hangup
Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: Exit.

No matter what I try I cant get past this timeout for LCP requests.  Can
anybody please help me or at least suggest something to try next.  I do
not want to use user ppp at this time, however.  Thank you in advance.
Please if you need any other information to help me just ask.  I dont
know what is important in this situation so I am just shooting in the
dark.
