Howdy, read the other replies and they are correct - you need to rebuild the kernel to run kernel ppp (no big deal - just follow the handbook): However the script given are both for shutting down the pppd connection, the scripts I use are: for starting pppd and use chat: #!/bin/sh ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep PID=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'` if [ "$PID" = "" ] then pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDTXXXXXXX CONNECT ""\ Name: XXXXXXXX Password: XXXXXXXXXXXX' \ /dev/cuaa0 115200 : fi and to shut down: #!/bin/sh pid=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print$1;}'` if [ X${pid} != "X" ] ; then echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid} kill -INT ${pid} fi These seem to work fine for me and others who have finally figured out the peculiarities of their machines.
