Well, since I'm the one who started this thread you'll be happy to know that with everyone's help I've managed for the most part to get dial-up ppp running on my FreeBSD machine so that my Win95 machine can access the Internet via dial-up networking(using it right now :)!! The only problem left is that once I disconnect, I am unable to get the a ppp connection again untill I reboot the FreeBSD machine and restart ppp. Then it works ok for one more connection... and so on. Any idea on what the fix for this is? I also would be more than happy to help with putting together documentation for dial=up ppp, of course all I know is how to guess what combination of settings will work :) Thanks for everyone's help.
