I suppose once I've established this I can then manually enter the commands from the ppp.conf file on the command line to see if they have any subsequent e ffect?? Two suggestions: 1) Fix your email client to wrap lines > 76 characters... :) 2) download http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/examples/ /ppp/ppp.conf.sample?rev=1.3 copy EXACTLY the line: set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \ OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" into your ppp.conf file, the problem i've seen many times is that people mix up spaces and tabs and other characters in here. If there is an error like that then most likely you won't even dial properly. you probably also want to check out the other sample files in /etc/ppp/ good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
