This is what my configuration looked like: ispname: set device PPPoE:rl0 set authname myusername@ispname.de set authkey mypassword set dial set login add default HISADDR I simply added this block at the end of ppp.conf and didn't modify anything else. In /etc/rc.conf, I simply defined ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="YES" ppp_profile="ispname" so the PPPoE connection would come up on system start and would be re-initialized in case it dropped. The network interface rl0 just needed to be up, no further configuration, the tunnel interface tun0 would then be assigned the IP depending on what the ISP transmitted. It shouldn't be hard to get something similar working today. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
