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. -- Best regards, Neill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
