I have a question concerning a ppp connection through freebsd on my home pc. I have opted in the interim to dial in manually, so here are the facts my ppp.conf file looks like this default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set parity even so then I invoke the ppp command, now *term at atdt (isp #) at one point I got the login prompt for my isp, and was able to succsessfully connect (the ppp became PPP) I then typed in add 0 0 HISADDR, but what do I do at that point in order to start running programs like telnet and lynx? Well that's not the end of it, I have the past 3 or 4 times upon connecting been unable to type in the login: and password: my keyboard becomes totally impaired the point where my isp name shows up, some letters won't type in uppercase the enter key doesn't work, so I'm left wondering what it was that I did wrong. Mabey i should edit out the last line in the ppp.conf. Well the important thing is how do I start those programs once I am connected and also how do I test to see if I am really transmitting and recieving bits to/from my isp? thankyou in advance gibson@midmaine.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
