Hi. I'm working on configuring my pc in dualboot fashion: Windows 95 and
FreeBSD. I'm currently trying to set up my system for dialup internet
access.
I did the best I could, referring to the Pedantic PPP Primer (the
section "Configuring the PPP Dial-Out Connection") and the user-ppp
section of the FreeBSD Handbook.
The modem is a USR Sportster 33.6 (internal faxmodem, model 840)
assigned to com 3/irq 5.
My /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file, included below, is based on the example in
the Pedantic Primer.
I try to dial my isp with the following commands:
ppp
dial interactive
but with no success. The program tries to dial, fails, and retries, ten
times. Error message is this: "Warning: DialModem: dial failed."
Any ideas how to get this thing to work?
Thanks.
