Martin, I found it by far easier to set up sppp (kernel-level) than ppp and auto-dialing works very well with it, too. (you'll need to compile in sppp support if you haven't done already). See /usr/share/examples/isdn/ for an good example of isdnd.rc + sppp setup. Dynamic IPs is a bit tricky, I found that # ifconfig isp0 inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 link1 up worked well, and you'll have to add a default route like this # route add default -interface isp0 hope that helps, thomas --- Martin Button <buttonit@lineone.net> schrieb: > Hi > > I've been trying for a couple of weeks now to get isdn to work on > FreeBSD.
