Hello,
This is my ppp.conf that I have had success with since 2.2.5 through
3.4. My modem was an external on com1 (cuaa0) but it has worked
flawlessly until I switched providers for higher bandwidth.
Good luck
ppp.conf:
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set device /dev/cuaa0
set speed 115200
# The statement below should all be on one line
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK
ATE1q\Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
isp:
set phone aaabbbb
set timeout 0 # never disconnect from timeout
set authname ELN/username
set authkey pass
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns
# change below to allow other users, along with perminssions
allow users other_users
Anyways, hope that helps, or atleast gets you in the right direction.
Like I said, I never had any problems with this information, even with
the ELN/ part.
