I give up. Too much time wasted References: <01af01beb842$45ea7c20$1a6001cb@chalmers.com.au> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Strange, I've used a 2.2.5 box with mgetty and userland PPP with no big problems (all with dialin connections) The only gotchas were : - recompile the mgetty package with the PPP option ON - upgrade PPP to a more recent version, as 2.2.5 was buggy and did not allow dialin connection in my setup Thus : a recent 2.2.x machine (ideally the latest 2.2.8-Stable) should make do. TfH PS : IIRC, I had to read carefully mgetty's docs and the PPP tutorial on freebsd.org Robert Chalmers wrote: > > Thats it. No way will this poxy thing accept dial-in.
