I'm assuming you're using 3.2-Release here.
Take /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample, and copy to
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Edit the file, looking at the following in
particular:
1. in the default section, change the device setting to
match your current setting (it's /dev/cuaa1 in the file).
2. Assuming that your ISP doesn't have a login script, we move
down to the "PAPorCHAPpmdemand" section, setting the
"phone", "authname" and "authkey". Add your "set timeout 0"
to this section.
3. Start up ppp with:
# ppp PAPorCHAPpmdemand
and then type in "dial".
4. Logs will be generated in /var/log/ppp.log. Have a look
thru' those, and if you can't figure out what the problem
is from them, ask the list again - attaching the logs.
