I'd suggest putting a space before the ``\\dATDT'' in your login script - enabling chat logging would have shown this (this is probably the most commonly made mistake - I really should stress this more in the FAQ). Also, change ``set if addrr '' to ``set ifaddr '', change the ``add default 204.215.84.1'' to ``add default HISADDR'' and write /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup as per the docs. > The IP# my isp provided me with is 208.238.64.144 > the gateway machine is 204.215.84.1 > nameservers are 204.215.84.2, 204.215.84.100, 204.215.84.101 The nameservers are specified in /etc/resolv.conf (man 5 resolv.conf). > I made up other files too, again pretty much verbatium from the FreeBSD > handbook (I made up an /etc/hosts file, for example).
