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.
