Then it is not connecting to your ISP for some reason. Did you wait long enough for the modem to dial etc.? You should see something like the following when the dial up and authentication has successfully completed.

It's the second option in the list: URL Specify some other ftp site by URL I'm sure it _was_ called 'other' :) You shouldn't need to do that anyway as the ppp seems to be the problem. You should continue to write to freebsd-questions as some other reader may be able to spot exactly what the problem is. Good luck John.
