Hi,
  I will appreciate if anyone who has succes with pppd on 1.1.5.1
can give me some helps :

  I am (still) running 1.1.5.1 to dial-out to my ISP Annex-3, the
port has been set to ppp mode and the IP address for me is static,
since it is a permanent connection kind of thing. 

  The following are the options (/etc/ppp/options) used for pppd :

# /etc/ppp/options
crtscts         # enable hardware flow control
modem           # modem control line
passive         # wait for LCP packets
domain mydomain # put your domain name here

204.14.44.34:204.14.44.14 # put the IP of remote PPP host here
                # it will be used to route packets via PPP link
                # if you didn't specified the noipdefault option
                # change this line to <local_ip>:<remote_ip>

defaultroute    # put this if you want that PPP server will be your
                # default router
debug

  The following are the steps I used to dial-up :

1) use kermit to dial-up ISP, and suspend it back to shell
2) pppd /dev/cua00 57600 -detach . At this time I can see that the SD & RD
   leds are flashing over every 5 seconds or more, and this went
   on for quite a while before it stopped.
3) I checked netstat -r, ifconfig ppp0, but default route has not
   been set, neither is any parameter for ppp0 set.
4) I check out /var/log/message, and saw the following :

   Jun 7 10:23:45 lespoir pppd[589]: pppd 2.0.4 started by root, uid 0
   Jun 7 10:23:45 lespoir pppd[589]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua00
   Jun 7 10:23:45 lespoir pppd[589]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

   I then send a few ^C to pppd, but that didn't kill it, I then tried
   kill -INT 589, and neither did that, then tried kill -9 589, and that
   did it.
5) Then restarted pppd : pppd /dev/cua00 57600 -detach again, and got :

   Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: received bad Reject!
   Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: plen 6 len 0 off 6
   .
   . (basically, repeated logs of above 2 lines)
   .
   Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: pppd 2.0.4 started by root, uid 0
   Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua00
   Jun 7 10:25:45 lespoir pppd[589]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

   I am very suspicious with my ISP Annex setup since I got similar LCP
time-out error when trying on another Linux box later, and especially he
mentioned something that they had never made ppp to work, 8-((.
Therefore, I will like to know if anyone has success with FreeBSD-1.1.5.1
ppp and Annex please tell me :

   If the problem is with the Annex, what parameters must be set on it
   to get it working properly with pppd.

  Thanks in advance.
