dear sir,

     I try to connection two computers which have
FreeBSD installed in through null-modem cable using
PPP connection.
     In the freebsd handbook, I can not find the
related information which talk about PPP connection on
null modem cable.
     Can you tell me why? or It happens because i
didn't find the right place in the handbook. 
     I use the ppp.conf file in server and client side
which is provided on the website
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
    # Example to connect using a null-modem cable:

the command I used is:
ppp -background direct-server

     but I got an error message in the log file which
is:
     can not find CD. 
     I think CD means carrier detect. why it happens? 
thanks a lot for your help.

Rui
