I've looked at the FreeBSD Handbook & FAQ, tried a few configurations, but nothing seems to work; perhaps, you can help me... I want to be able to dial-up into my account on my school's unix system, run slirp/ppp, and have a ppp connection established with my pc. I dial into my account using ppp (interactive mode, using term), using tun0 network_interface. Once in term, this is the procedure I use to get into my school account and run slirp: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- atdt (Once connected I get the following prompt:) Local> (then to connect to my departments system, I type:) Local> c cs (which brings me to...)

I am using the generic kernel which has ppp built into it (I believe), and my modem is /dev/cuaa2. Given all the above information, perhaps you can tell me exactly what I need in my configuration files (sysconfig, ppp conf files, etc) to make this work. I appreciate your consideration on the matter. -jason
