I am trying to set up a FreeBSD machine as a PPP dialup server for Windows clients to access the internet. The primary dialup server is an NT machine and it just went to hell, but I have been working on a FreeBSD based dialup server in my spare time to use in emergencies like these, I just didn't expect to see one so soon... I am trying to use kernel PPP (pppd) as explained in the handbook, (with kermit), but everytime I run the startup script, I get this error: +++ATH0 OK ATS0=1 OK pppd 2.3.1 started by root, uid 0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa1 Serial line is looped back Connection terminated, connected for 1 minutes I don't know why I keep getting `Serial line is looped back', but as soon as that message appears I get the next line (connection terminated)... I you need to see my configuration file (/etc/ppp/options, etc...) please, let me know.... I have also tried User PPP with mgetty, but I can't seem to get clients online, they only get a shell, but are unable to get a PPP connection... Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated!
