I have a question concerning a ppp connection through freebsd on my home
pc. I have opted in the interim to dial in manually, so here are the facts

my ppp.conf file looks like this

default:
   set device /dev/cuaa0
   set speed 115200
   set parity even

so then I invoke the ppp command, now *term

at
atdt  (isp #)

at one point I got the login prompt for my isp, and was able to
succsessfully connect (the ppp became
PPP)  I then typed in add 0 0 HISADDR, but what do I do at that point in
order to start running programs like telnet and lynx? Well that's not the
end of it, I have the past 3 or 4 times upon connecting been unable to type
in the login: and password: my keyboard becomes totally impaired the point
where my isp name shows up, some letters won't type in uppercase the enter
key doesn't work, so I'm left wondering what it was that I did wrong. Mabey
i should edit out the last line in the ppp.conf. Well the important thing
is how do I start those programs once I am connected and also how do I test
to see if I am really transmitting and recieving bits to/from my isp?

thankyou in advance
