You don't need google as a means of OS documentation. :-) First, check /etc/ppp/ppp.conf which is the PPP configuration file. Also, read "man ppp". I have used ppp.conf in the past for dealing with PPPoE, and it worked without any problems. > when i try to use "ppp default" and then "dial" i got: You should define your own label for the connection in ppp.conf, e. g. the name of the provider (doesn't have to be very verbose). > # ppp default > Warning: Bad label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (line 2) - missing colon > Warning: Bad label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (line 2) - missing colon Check those. > ppp ON localhost> dial > Warning: deflink: /dev/cuad1: Bad file descriptor > Warning: deflink: /dev/cuad0: Bad file descriptor PPP tries to access regular serial lines. > Nothing happens, there is still no connection. Sorry, I don't know enough about wireless network to be more specific, but allow me this guess: If your connection requires PPPoE, you could code something like this: blah: set device PPPoE:<device> set authname <accountname> set authkey <password> set dial set login add default HISADDR Then, "ppp blah" would be used for manual dialing. I'm not sure in how far you are required to code AT dialing sequences. > Some device nodes are created after I plug a modem.

The ttyU* and cuaU* devices obviously belong to the modem. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
