Mann" ReSent-To: questions@freebsd.org ReSent-Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sirs: I am running FreeBSD 2.1.6 at the moment along with user ppp ( with tun ). I have configured /etc/ppp.conf to be as close to the examples as possible but so far no luck. I am having to use Win95 to log into my ISP for the 32bit tcp/ip stack and their canned configuration of which I know little about. they don't or won't even tell you whether its pap or chap. They discourage sternly even trying to use unix here on attnet.or.jp Misawa A.B. Japan. the login ID is some 31 characters long consisting of a specific ID followed by the @msw0.attnet.or.jp The primary DNS is 165.76.26.2 and thru some experimentation I have discovered that my dynamic address will be a class C variant of that. but I don't know what their port address will be. ( they won't even tell me what kind of computer or operating system they're using. Also I've heard that I must put something in my /etc/ppp.secrets file but I don't understand what especially for the password. Can someone please help! ________ Gary B.
