I am trying to connect my home system running FreeBSD to our office's ppp server. Our office's server is from Sonic and does not have a 'text' interface layer. I cannot figure our how to connect without going through the 'chat' layer. It seems that pppd always expects some form of text username/password string to be sent from the remote host. Any insights on how to get around this limitation would be greatly appreciated. Also, if this question has been answered somewhere else, a pointer to the documentation would suffice. Thanks for your time and efforts, Best regards, Dave -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |David Parks | | |SRC Computers Inc. | | |dparks@srccomp.com | | |+1 (719) 262-0213 | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
