When I try user PPP I can't get terminal mode to work. When I invoke ppp, I get the ppp prompt and can pass commands and settings to ppp. If I then go to term mode I get the term prompt and the 'Type ~? for help' message, but when I type in a command I get no echo and no response. The console appears to lock up. I have to go to another virtual terminal and kill the ppp process. User PPP also will not run the script I have written to automate the process (I get a timeout), but I figure that's because I haven't gotten the script right yet. I can live with manual dialling for the time being. Using 'pppd /dev/cuaa0 115200 connect 'chat -f /etc/ppp.dial.chat'' I can get kernel PPP to dial the modem and I can hear the handshake, but I haven't quite figured out how to get my userid and password to my ISP. Again, a scripting problem. The manual says I can pass userid and password as arguments after the 'chat ...' but I get 'userid: unrecognized command'. But I know the hardware works and the DIP switches are correct. I suspect that my User PPP problem is in the configuration of the tunnel device in /etc/rc.conf. The only useful reference to the tunnel device I can find is in G. Lehey's wonderful manual, but it's for static IP addresses. How do I write that line for dynamic IP addresses? 'ifconfig -a' gives: 'tun0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500' I know I need '<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST>'. How do I get there? I assume I need tun0 in the network_interfaces line. I also assume I need 'ifconfig_tun0="???......??"'. What goes here for dynamic IP addresses? Do I just make something up and let /etc/ppp/ppp.conf handle it? Or am I way off track? Any help greatly appreciated. Also: sorry for posting two questions at once, but I thought the one might illuminate the other. Or vice versa. TIA.
