Funny thing is, if I use user-ppp instead of pppd then it works. The following is my /etc/ppp/options file (almost): crtscts # enable hardware flow control modem # modem control line noipdefault # remote PPP server must supply your IP address. # if the remote host doesn't send your IP during IPCP # negotiation , remove this option passive # wait for LCP packets domain xxxxxx.com # put your domain name here connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script" netmask aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 123.456.789.123: # put the IP of remote PPP host here # it will be used to route packets via PPP link # if you didn't specified the noipdefault option # change this line to : defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be your # default router I think it looks fine.
