It's hooked up like this... (The UTP is crossed wired)
Phoneline ----->ADSL-modem----UTP-cable---->FreeBSD
I have no internal 192.168-network...

I did try ppp.conf at first, as I use it myself at home with an ADSL
provider that uses PPPoE. The provider for this particular ADSL does
not seem to use PPPoE, even though it for MS Windows, in the manual,
mentions PPP.
As I know the IP's of the DNS's, and they're static, I should not have
to have enable dns, or? At least I do not use that at home.
In ppp.conf I did 'set device PPPoE:fxp0'. Maybe I should try to drop
the PPPoE?
Anyway it seems the provider isn't like other providers, as there
exists an application that is called LF Connection Keeper, just to
keep the connection open, and this application is only made for this
ISP provider.
Best regards,
Paul
