I followed the steps in the manual about creating/editing ppp.conf, ppp.linkup, etc., but when I run "ppp 'provider'", it tells me that it cannot find the entry for 'provider' (substituting 'provider' with my provider's name) and then kicks me back to the prompt. I have followed the instructions to the letter in the manual, but nothin' doin'. I have the following: USR 56K Ext on COM1 FreeBSD 2.2.5 RELEASE Dynamic IP assigning by my provider. Here's the catcher: when I do ALL the steps manually, it works fine and I get a fully functional connection. Help?!
