I copied the "default" that you gave me in your mail. Then, I tried launching ppp. by typing ppp -ddial at the command prompt. I got to the stage where one of the 3 ppp's the first "p" turning into capital "P" that's it then the next line I got all the p's again in lowercase. I do not know what is the problem here. my ppp.conf file is the default that you mailed me. Any help will be helpful. -Singh. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Banning To: Sukhbinder Singh Cc: David Banning ; Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2003 5:41 AM Subject: Re: FreeBSD Port/Distribution Installation > On Sat, Apr 05, 2003 at 05:44:20PM +0800, Sukhbinder Singh wrote: > > what do I type at the place for "default: > # or name_of_service_provider" in > These are just names for your ppp to lookup what entries to pay attention > to.
