Hi all,
I'm configuring a BSD 4.3 box to handle some services across our
network, and I configured PPP (not pppd) and it was all working
beautifully.
Then I rebooted the server using the correct method and all of a sudden
when I invoke a "ppp -background" command, PPP just does nothing.
All of a sudden. This is something I'd expect from Windows.
ppp.conf:
default:
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
# Ensure that "device" references the correct serial port
# for your modem. (cuaa0 = COM1, cuaa1 = COM2)
#
set device /dev/cuaa0
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set speed 57600
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
set phone "1234567"
set redial 10 4
set authname username
set authkey password
set timeout 180 # 3 minute idle timer (the
default)
add default HISADDR # Add a (sticky) default route
enable dns # request DNS info (for
resolv.conf)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm running ppp -backround
That should execute the commands in the "default" section, so why isn't
it?
Yes, my modem is correctly connected and powered.
When I load a PPP session, I see:
[root@vanity /etc]# ppp
Working in interactive mode
There are no "prompt" characters, such as '>', as there used to be (if I
recall). Is this a peculiarity?
Thanks,
