I am trying to get the PPP connection to my up-stream ISP setup correctly
and I am having problems. I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 from the Walnut Creek
CD on a 486 with 16MB RAM and a 1G hard drive.
I have read the html handbook pages and have PPP working to the point where
I can run ppp and dial the ISP. After the connect is made I have to
manually type `add 0 0 HISADDR' into the ppp program in order to get things
working. I think I understand that this entry is supposed to be in
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup in the form of ;
X.X.X.X.:
add 0 0 HISADDR
Since I am using a dyniamic PPP address I do not know what to replace the Xs
with. I have tried `0.0.0.0:' and even `0:' but neither work. What do I
need to do?
Next question is data compression (predicitive compression?) enabled the
default. I have seen mention of disabling and denying compression and I am
not too happy with the transfer rates. Do I need to add anything to the
ppp.conf file to enable compression?
