That was it! I installed the package version, which was not compiled with
-DAUTO_PPP. Thanks for the tip.
Our dialup server was running Linux until last week, when it ate it's
disk drive. We got a new IBM DCAS 4.3G UW SCSI a couple of days ago,
and the resident Linuxhead is gone, so I'm FreeBSDing the system. He'll
be amused when he gets back. ;^)
We're also planning on sticking a 16-port serial board into this beast
to talk to the serial consoles on some of our lab equipment. Do you have
any suggestions for good, high-density serial boards? We'd like one
that allows us to use RJ-45 connectors on a rackmount panel, if possible.
Thanks again for the help, Jack. As usual, the FreeBSD support line
comes through in record time!
