Uhm... some times ago I have to install a FreeBSD box connected to Internet via a leased line. At the beginning the I was very scared about it (I never saw things like this) but after a while I realized I can treat it like any other modem. The only difference was that I have not to dial and I don't need a login sequence. If you used user ppp ---> ppp.conf: ---> cut here <--- default: set ctsrts on set parity none set server 3000 "" set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set timeout 120 cda0: set dial "" set login set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set timeout 900 set log Phase Chat LQM LCP IPCP CCP tun command set ifaddr 151.99.150.79 151.99.150.15 add default HISADDR set cd off ---> end <--- Teh modem always take the connection open and they have their configuration set in their flash. On the other side there is a Cisco system that provide the autentification, none in our case. I use ppp -nat -ddial cda0 to connect... I hope it can helps Best Regards, Gianmarco Giovannelli , "Unix expert since yesterday" http://www.giovannelli.it/~gmarco http://www2.masternet.it To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
