I'm having the same problem. How do you use term mode. Is there a
man page for term.
Thanks.

Guy,
I'm really new to FreeBSD and have troubles with PPP myself, but I think
what you need to do is "add 0 0 HISADDR". Thats what I have to do after
using term mode to connect to my ISP and have started a PPP connect. In my
case, I have to use term, as I haven't been able to make sense out of the
ppp.conf or get it working properly. Can't even get it to dial. So I use
term mode to start up PPP. The last command is the add 0 0 HISADDR at the
prompt. If I don't do that, I have no route. Once that is done, everything
works. So I think that may be what you need to do. The same thing happens
to me if I don't. Sounds exactly what is happening in your case.
Good luck!
Paul
