9 Questions 3 suggestions 4 example ppp scripts #1. what version of FreeBSD are you running #2. what type of modem is it (PNP, rockwell, hayes compat)? #3. Does it have jumpers? #4. do you know how to configure ppp?? #5. are you on a network *and* or does the computer in question need to be a gateway?? #6. what com port is your modem on? #7. are there *any* additional com ports in use? #8. what are your system specs (primarily motherboard, cpu)? #9. do you know enough to compile a kernel and or use boot -c? (plz note that if you don't I can help you) Suggestions 1. I suggest you use a com1 or com3, by default I belive FreeBSD only has com1 & com2 enabled in the kernel so useing com3 IRQ 4 would be fine. Or use com1 irq 4 and disable com1 in your BIOS (do any of these steps in suggestion #1 only if your not using a mouse on com1 or 3). 2. If you have a win-modem *on-some* you can turn-off pnp.. so do it 3. use your jumpers to configure your modem to the correct port ### EXAMPLE SCRIPTS BELOW... only use them if you know what you are doing!!!... also, these examples come from the 2.2.7-RELEASE. If you are using a higher version, let me know and I'll send you an updated sample of scripts (this means you have to answer question #1 :P) take a look at this site (http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/) read through this link (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ppp-and-slip.html) good luck; -cosmic-665 example /etc/ppp/ppp.conf <<< > > >default: > set device /dev/cuaa1 #plz change this to suite your specs > set speed 115200 > set parity none > set timeout 0 > disable lqr > deny lqr > set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT E0 X0 > set redial 5 10 > >foxinternet: > set phone "*70,3360301" #needs to be edited > set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: #xxxxxx word: xxxxxx" > set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 #Important!! > delete ALL > add default HISADDR example /etc/ppp/ppp.secret <<<< > # change this to match you network specs # Authname Authkey Peer's IP address Label Callback cosmic hermit665 127.0.0.1 example /etc/hosts <<< >127.0.0.1 localhost >10.0.0.1 foxinternet.net #NOTE the line above I believe needs to match the "set ifaddr line" >192.168.1.1 cosmic.com. >192.168.1.6 hermitage >192.168.1.2 hermit665 >192.168.1.3 486 example /etc/host.conf #make sure it says hosts and bind!! # $Id: host.conf,v 1.4 1997/02/23 09:20:40 peter Exp $ # Default is to use the nameserver first hosts # If that doesn't work, then try the /etc/hosts file bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis >I am needing to get a modem on my UNIX box because Mediaone cable went >down and I have only this dial up account here to use but my unix cant >dial yet.
