To whom it may concern:

My friend and I have a FreeBSD machine running the latest STABLE version of
FreeBSD.  We are running ppp 2.3 patch 5.  We have an Alcatel HomeTouch ADSL
USB modem.  In the FreeBSD machine, there is a fully functional USB card,
which has been configured and operates correctly.

The problem comes in the configuration of PPP

Following the instructions here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/speedtouch/speedto
uch/doc-bsd/INSTALL?rev=1.2
We configured as shown in the link above.  Our ppp.conf file looks like
this:

default:
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command

adsl:
 set authname our_username_here
 set authkey our_password_here
 set device !"pppoa2 -vpi 8 -vci 35 -v 1"
 accept pap
 set speed sync
 set timeout 0
 enable lqr
 set lqrperiod 5
 set redial 15 10000
 set dial ""
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR
 enable dns

We are certain our ISP uses PAP for authenticating.  We do the following to
connect:

ppp -ddial adsl

We receive the following error:

Add Route:  failed:  default exists

More detail about the machine:  There is a NIC with IP address 192.168.1.3,
which is NOT connected to anything.

We are able to ping our ISP's gateway.  And we have an IP address which has
been assigned to us by the ISP.  But we cannot ping or access addresses
outside our ISP.

We have no idea the problem.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  We thank you
in advance.
