I've followed the ppp setup instructions in the handbook and the ppp man
page, and I still can't connect on-demand. My modem dials, the script
logs me in, but the connection gets dropped as soon as the ppp
application switches to "Packet mode".

Below is a copy of my ppp.conf settings. Note: Phone numbers,
IP addresses, and or passwords may have been modified in this example.

# Default setup. Always executed when PPP is invoked.
#
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa1
 set speed 115200
 set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier LCP IPCP CCP tun Error Warning
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK
\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

# Entry for connecting to Servtech.
#
cyberlink:
 set phone 5551234
#set redial 5 5
 set login "TIMEOUT 20 ost:-BREAK-ost: ppp ogin: rmillian word: ******"
 set timeout 0
 deny lqr
 set ifaddr 204.181.4.49 172.25.22.18/0
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

The contents of my ppp.linkup file is:

# Per the handbook, use this entry when the host's gateway
# address isn't know until connection is established.
#
cyberlink:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR
 !bg sendmail -bd -q15m

I won't bore you with the contents of my rc.conf file. Suffice it to say
that it follows the handbook word for word. I can connect using ppp in
manual mode, but I can't even do something like.

ppp > load cyberlink
ppp > dial

What am I missing?
