One thing you need to find out is if your ISP supposes PAP or CHAP authentication. It is infinitely easier to use PAP/CHAP for autodial. If they do not, you'll need to setup a chat script for the login. I belive you can go by the examples in the sample ppp.conf and also there should be a man chat to help you. > That may not be a major problem, as I'd rather the connection stayed up > permanently if at all possible > ppp -ddial entry_in_pppconf > Also, what needs to be done with ppp.conf to allow LAN access to internet > via the BSD box. > Nothing, you want ppp -alias. This will enable network address translation (NAT or IPMasq to linux users). Also, the other boxes on the net need to have the BSD machine set as the gateway. > The Pedantic PPP Primer has info about Dial on Demand, and interactive > mode, > but it doesn't appear that either of those are relavant to my situation. > They are very relevant. If you can get ppp -auto (dial on demand) to work, then ppp -ddial will also work with little or no modification.
