Hi all,
I have read and followed ch13 "PPP & SLIP" doc for  a dynamic IP and 
user PPP. ....but
a) I find it ambiguous..do I do a ppp.conf file for static and then 
simply add in the 3 lines
		ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
		delete ALL
		add 0 0 10.0.0.2

I guess I do! since there is nowhere in dynamic section that configs 
for my provider. If so, do I remove the 3 corresponding lines in 
static config section of doc?

b) after re-booting I tried 
			ppp
			dial provider
 and no dial occurred...it timedout
Any ideas ? I have not been able to get a blip out of my modem...I 
know it works because the machine I'm installing freebsd on is a dual 
win95/bsd boot. In windows it dials how do you reckon this got to 
you? ;^)
Thanks in advance
