Dear Alexander, As a FreeBSD newbie who just struggled with this problem two days ago, ma= ybe I=20 can help. You need to edit file /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (be sure to make a back= up=20 copy of that file first). Below I'm including a copy of how the file might look after you've set it= up.=20 Of course, you'll have to supply the real phone number of your ISP, and y= our=20 password, and I'm also assuming you log in to your ISP as "afilippov". Also, I'm just assuming that you log on to your computer as user "alex", = but=20 if you're user "al" or "alexander", that's what needs to go on the last l= ine=20 of this file. After you have ppp.conf all set up, you go online by typing in an Xterm: ppp -background fromru You hang up by typing: killall ppp The use of the word "fromru" is what I'm assuming you'll use because that= 's=20 the name of your ISP (according to your email address), but you can use a= ny=20 word when you set up the configuration file - "armadillo" would be fine, = but=20 then you'll have to type "ppp -background armadillo". good luck, Robert ################################################################# # PPP Sample Configuration File # Originally written by Toshiharu OHNO # Simplified 5/14/1999 by wself@cdrom.com # # See /usr/share/examples/ppp/ for some examples # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf,v 1.8 2001/06/21 15:42:26 brian Exp $ ################################################################# default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) # Ensure that "device" references the correct serial port # for your modem.
