Hello,

seems I'm not alone with my PPP-Problems...

I have the PPP from FreeBSD 2.1.5, from walnut-creek-CDROM, Aug.96.
I can enter the term-command, and tell my modem to dial - all 
by hand.  It will connect ok, PPP at the dialin-machine starts,
and I can login there - but only while staying in PPP.
(Documentation say, I should open a telnet in _another_ virt.console)

Problems:
- connecting via commandline and ppp.conf
  doesn't work properly: it dials out, waits, than hangs up.
  
- The other virtual consoles don't know about the connection,
  while it is up.
  "add 0 0 HISADDR"  in PPP.conf (or .linkup) does not 
  add a route, and while I'm in PPP-term-mode, I cannot 
  issue this command.  
  And getting out of term-mode closes the connection :-(

Any ideas ?
