In a nutshell, I can get interactive ppp working fine, but getting it to run via scripts just isn't happening. Here's what works (interactive). su-2.01# ppp -alias Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 ppp ON cave> set authname auth ppp ON cave> set authkey pass ppp ON cave> set timeout 0 ppp ON cave> term deflink: Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa0 Type `~?' for help atdt32225056 CONNECT 57600 Packet mode detected. PPP ON cave> PPP ON cave> delete ALL PPP ON cave> add default HISADDR The above gets the connection, everything. Every time. Now, the following DOESN'T work... being the contents of my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 57600 set dial "ATDT32225056" set redial 60 set reconnect 60 4 background: set authname auth set authkey pass set phone "32225056" set timeout 0 delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR I have tried lots of other variants on the dial string as well, most of them cut and pasted from various doco, with minimal changes. Some make the lights on the modem change, but none actually dial. I reduced the dial string to the one above in an attempt to simplify the problem. I use su-2.01# ppp -alias -background to run it, and this is a typical excerpt from /var/log/ppp.log for a connect: Feb 24 18:58:41 cave ppp[5596]: Phase: Using interface: tun0 Feb 24 18:58:41 cave ppp[5596]: Phase: deflink: Created in closed state Feb 24 18:58:41 cave ppp[5597]: Phase: PPP Started (background mode).

Feb 24 18:58:56 cave ppp[5597]: Phase: Parent notified of success. Feb 24 18:58:56 cave ppp[5596]: Phase: Parent: Child failed (errdead). "Warning: Chat script failed" prolly means the chat script failed, but I am having real trouble getting ANY chat scripts to work. I've also used (out of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample): set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" and a few reductions of that, but no luck. Doesn't even dial. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Confused Hamish To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
