     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
