How do,
Running 2.0.5 SNAP 950622, I've managed to get PPP working quite nicely.
Well, almost. At the moment, a session looks something like this:
[root] [surfs-up] ~> ppp
User Process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO.
Log level is 09
Using interface: tun0
Interactive mode
ppp on surfs-up> pass ********
ppp ON surfs-up> dial demon
dial OK!
login OK!
ppp ON surfs-up> Packet mode.
PPP ON surfs-up>
And everything goes fine. I can telnet, ping, netscape and so on.
So I want to move on to the next level of sophistication, demand
starting. If my reading of the manual page is correct< i should just be
able to do
ppp -auto demon
and PPP will then dial out as and when necessary. If I do this however,
PPP starts up, announces that it is in auto mode and becomes a daemon
(preety much what I expected). But if I then try and ping, telnet or
netscape out I get told that the network is unreachable. PPP does not
attempt to dial out.
/usr/share/FAQ/Text/ppp.faq is out of date, and www.freebsd.org is so
overloaded that I can't get on it to check out the old message archives.
Any help much appreciated.

Documentation is the castor oil of programming. Managers know it must
be good because the programmers hate it so much.
