Hi,
I am posting the web page that has the ppp.conf file which
is part of the tutorial. The command that gave me "invalid command"
error is the first command sequence of the tutorial which has the
form:
#ppp at yourmachinename> pass yoursecretkeyatpppprompt<enter>
I replaced "yoursecretkeyatpppprompt" with my correct account
password.
TIA

AT&T WorldNet Service, you need to have your AT&T WorldNet Service user name,

<p align="left">Also, make sure your FreeBSD kernel is compiled with pseudo-device tun
(i.e, tunnel driver) enabled. You might need to recompile your kernel.</p>
<p align="left">See your online handbook in directory: /usr/share/doc/handbook for more
information or check the <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD homepage</a>.</p>
<p align="left">The procedure here is for setting up iijppp, also known as User mode ppp.
Once you are ready, there are seven files you need to edit to complete the setup. These
are: </p>
<ul>
<li><p align="left">/etc/hosts</p>
</li>
<li><p align="left">/etc/host.conf</p>
</li>
<li><p align="left">/etc/resolv.conf</p>

<li><p align="left">/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup</p>
</li>
<li><p align="left">/etc/ppp/ppp.secret</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="left">With the exception of /etc/sysconf, you only need to replace with your own
information in all other files, i.e, yourmachinename, yourpassword, yourusername etc.
Following are the specific changes for each file:</p>
