I don't have a lot of experience with ppp, so I'm not sure if this is normal behavior. Once the connection is established it seems that there is only one ppp process. > > Can anybody help? Your ppp log is a lot different from mine. It seems that yours doesn't see the configuration file, because in mine, I see: Jun 2 14:43:48 typhoon ppp[147]: tun0: Command: default: set device PPPoE:dc0 Jun 2 14:43:48 typhoon ppp[147]: tun0: Command: default: set mru 1492 Jun 2 14:43:48 typhoon ppp[147]: tun0: Command: default: set mtu 1492 Jun 2 14:43:48 typhoon ppp[147]: tun0: Command: default: set speed sync Jun 2 14:43:48 typhoon ppp[147]: tun0: Command: default: enable lqr "default" is the entry, and the stuff after that is what's under that entry. I don't see this on yours. I think that yours is trying to use a modem to dial out to something: Jun 8 17:46:33 ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: opening -> dial Jun 8 17:46:33 ppp[263]: tun0: Chat: deflink: Dial attempt 1 of 1 Jun 8 17:46:33 ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: dial -> carrier Jun 8 17:46:38 ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Disconnected! PPPoE doesn't need to dial. Are you sure that you put the modified ppp.conf in the right place? Did you kill the old ppp before restarting it with the new config? You may also want to try starting ppp like this: "ppp -background default". Mine starts with "papchap" as an argument, but it doesn't seem to use that profile. Like I said, I don't have a lot of experience with ppp. Maybe somebody who does can explain why. Also, on a probably unrelated side note, I don't see your machine's hostname in ppp.log. Did you edit it out yourself, or did you forget to set a hostname? It's unlikely that this matters with ppp, but it may be worth a try.
