If your prompt says ``ppp ON >'', then you haven't configured your
host name. This will probably play havoc with ppp.
In general, you need to through every line in /etc/rc.conf and adjust
it according to your preferences then reboot.
To fix this problem, ensure that you have a hostname specified in
/etc/rc.conf:
.....
hostname="larry.home" # Set this!
.....
and that it can be resolved in /etc/hosts:
.....
10.0.0.1 larry.home larry
.....
and that things are done in the right order from /etc/host.conf:
hosts
bind
After rebooting and starting ppp, you should now see a prompt saying
``ppp ON larry >''.
