I have a friend also got the $39/mo DSL dynamic IP service. I am trying
to connect a FreeBSD box on it, but getting some errors. I never used
PPP before, so had no clue what other things need to be done beside
15.4. Here is what I did: (the ep0 works well on static IP subnet)
adding following lines into /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and /etc/rc.conf, reboot
system: (YOURLOGINNAME & YOURPASSWORD substituted by real strings, these
are only information given by PacBell, and work under window95)
--------------------------- info. output -------------------------
% cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
pacbell: # or name_of_service_provider
set device PPPoE:ep0 # replace xl1 with your ethernet device
set mru 1492

set authname YOURLOGINNAME
set authkey YOURPASSWORD
set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish
set dial
set login
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
add default HISADDR

Would some help us?
