The only thing I would change is the ignore the " "~-^Uppp-~" " line in your chat file. If you are going to run user mode ppp, there is a very good write up in the handbook you should read and follow. Go to www. freebsd.org, go to the handbook and read chapter 15, PPP and SLIP. Frankly, however, I do _NOT_ recommend you try to follow the handbook instructions for using kernel PPP. The man page is much better and more understandable. I first got user level ppp running. It was then easy to get the kernel level ppp running. Of course, the chapter in "The Complete FreeBSD" helped a lot, but the the pppd man page is more complete and accurate.
