Sorry about the delay, I've had this in my mail for a while and haven't got around to answering it. (iijppp - I haven't tried pppd yet) For starters did this use to work with another ISP? If so then tun0 is probably ok otherwise you may have to have a look in the handbook on how to set it up, however if you use dynamic ip addresses don't put the ifconfig_tun0 line in your /etc/sysconfig as ppp works it out for you and if you disconnect and reconnect you'll have problems. To connect I do the following: ppp <enter> ppp ON circus> set device /dev/cuaa1 ppp ON circus> set speed 57600 ppp ON circus> set parity none ppp ON circus> set timeout 1200 ppp ON circus> accept chap ppp ON circus> disable pap ppp ON circus> set authname username ppp ON circus> set authkey password ppp ON circus> set openmode active ppp ON circus> set ifaddr 0 0 ppp ON circus> term atdt225003 (connect modem to isp) At this stage we get a menu and i put in my username and password, select ppp from a menu and ppp switches to packet mode. Yours may be different. Your prompt should change from ppp to PPP: PPP ON circus> which indicates that ppp is up and running. I'm not 100% sure what some of these commands do, and i've put them all in my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf along with a set dial command and set login command script which automatically log me into my isp. I did a bit of experimenting and found that i needed set openmode active for it to work (but don't know what it does - anyone?) and set ifaddr 0 0 which sets your ip address and his ip address according to what he tells you. I hope this helps.
