Hello,

I'm trying FreeBSD as a PPPoE client for my ADSL connection. Setup was
great, but I'm finding that when I lose a connection (troubles with my
isp), the ppp command does not return like I would like it to.

[root@kanga ~]# ppp -foreground -nat storm
Working in foreground mode
Using interface: tun0
tun0: Command: default: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
tun0: ID0: 0x282eed00 =3D fopen("/etc/ppp/ppp.conf", "r")
tun0: Debug: ReadSystem: Checking storm (/etc/ppp/ppp.conf).
tun0: Command: storm: nat enable yes
tun0: Command: storm: set device PPPOE:fxp0
tun0: Command: storm: set authname msoulier@storm.ca
tun0: Command: storm: set authkey ********
tun0: Command: storm: set dial
tun0: Command: storm: set login
tun0: Command: storm: add default HISADDR
tun0: ID0: 9 =3D socket(17, 3, 0)
tun0: ID0: -1 =3D write(9, data, 140)
tun0: TCP/IP: rt_Set failure:
tun0: TCP/IP: rt_Set:  Cmd =3D Add
tun0: TCP/IP: rt_Set:  Dst =3D 0.0.0.0/0
tun0: TCP/IP: rt_Set:  Gateway =3D 10.0.0.2
tun0: Debug: wrote -1: cmd =3D Add, dst =3D 0.0.0.0/0, gateway =3D 10.0.0.2

I just found the connection down because my modem lost sync, and the
client didn't return. I was hoping that it would return so that I
could script the client such that it would always retry, via supervise
or runit.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
