It's not required (assuming the other problem is fixed below). [.....] setifaddr 209.47.145.213/0 127.2.2.1/0 255.255.255.0 add 0 0 127.2.2.1/0 [.....] You should have "set ifaddr" (missing space). Without this, your source/target IP addresses aren't set. This means that -auto, -ddial and -background will break. The second line fails 'cos you've already got a default (from /etc/rc.conf). You also shouldn't have the "bit" specification on this line. I'm not sure why things aren't corrected from your /etc/ppp.linkup file - this should delete the default route and make a default pointing at whatever you negotiated. I would suggest changing defaultrouter= so that it's blank in rc.conf and making ppp.conf say: set ifaddr 209.47.145.213/0 127.2.2.1/0 255.255.255.0 delete ALL add 0 0 127.2.2.1 You may also want to disable pred1 It's possible that the non-working portmaster tries to negotiate a CCP. There was a recent bug where this would cause a standoff and ppp would send PRED1 packets even though the other side said it didn't want them. If this doesn't help, have a look at http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html. There are links to all the current docs, along with the latest copy of ppp. Check out the FAQ for suggestions on how to diagnose any problems.
