Hey Radu. When I swithced from Linux to FreeBSD I more or less transfered the settings direct to the machine. I see you are using tun. I used pppd just like on Linux and it worked fine - or at least I was able to get it working. The only problem I found was that FreeBSD logs differnlty to Linux and seems to log a lot less, so it was quite hard to see what was going on. Let me look at my firewall to see what I used to do (got a cable-modem now :-)). This was my /etc/options: modem crtscts asyncmap 0 defaultroute lock idle 300 noauth This was my chap-secrets: myaccount.freeserve.co.uk * mypass * myotheraccount * mypass2 * My pap-secrets was sym-linked to chap-secrets (probably you shouldn't do that, but what the hell. My two pppd scripts (for my two diferent ISPs) were: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cuaa1 115200 user palfre connect "/usr/bin/chat -v \ '' AT OK ATM0 OK ATD08440416662 CONNECT '\d\c'" and: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cuaa1 115200 user sendmail.freeserve.co.uk connect \ "/usr/bin /chat -v '' AT OK ATM0 OK ATD08450796699 CONNECT '\d\c'" IIRC that was exactly as it had been on Linux, except that #!/bin/bash became #!/bin/sh -- Bill.
