I'm wondering if anyone is using user PPP with an Earthlink account. I'm having trouble actually getting connected. I'm pretty sure that Earthlink uses PAP/CHAP since I don't get a login sequence when I manually dial into Earthlink using ppp in term mode. I'm trying to use my work account to access the Internet which is an Earthlink account. What I think is the problem is the username sequence that Earthlink uses: ELN/username. I think that / is screwing things up but I'm not sure. I've tried putting it in quotes and stuff but that didn't work either. I was hoping to see an Earthlink ready ppp.conf to go by. I've printed out the man page for ppp, the ppp section in the Handbook, and the Pedantic PPP primer. I followed the manuals to the letter so I'm not sure what the deal is. My ultimate goal is to finally get one modem up on the internet, then try to get another up on the internet in order to do multi-link ppp with NAT and some ppp filters. This is a little project that I have to show my boss the merits of FreeBSD as well as my own home project. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
