I am having some trouble with ppp dialing automatically on FreeBSD 2.2.7
(downloaded and installed last week). I swapped the hdd from a 486sx20 to
a 486dx2/80 because of problems with the serial ports, but I am still
getting the following errors reported on the console and /var/log/messages.
Kernel is the standard GENERIC kernel, with all the unrequired hardware
deleted via -c on bootup. There is a standard NE2000 compatible Network
card, but that's on IRQ 5, so it's not interfering.. There is nothing else
in the machine bar an ide hdd and a vga card, and the only additional
service running is named.
The modem is a Racal Winstream ISDN modem, which basically pretends to be a
hayes modem, connected to COM1:. cts/rts handshake is definitely on..
After several of the following messages, it will actually dial and connect
correctly.

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf is:
default:
set device /dev/cuaa0
set speed 115200
set ctsrts on
disable pred1
deny pred1
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0
OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
set redial 3 10
dialup:
set line /dev/cuaa0
# set speed 115200
set phone 9507776
set authkey ******
set timeout 90
set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:--ogin: aph word: \\P"
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
delete all
add 0 0 HISADDR
#
alias enable yes
alias same_ports yes
alias port tcp 192.168.5.33:2000 2000
ppp is initiated with
ppp -alias -auto dialup
As an aside, it is dialing rather too often - the above entries were at
2am, when there shouldn't have been anything using it! The only things on
the network that would have been on were this box and an NT4 Server.
Should I be blocking anything else anywhere?
Many thanks,
Rob O'Donnell.
