Dear Alexander,
As a FreeBSD newbie who just struggled with this problem two days ago, ma=
ybe I=20
can help. You need to edit file /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (be sure to make a back=
up=20
copy of that file first).
Below I'm including a copy of how the file might look after you've set it=
up.=20
Of course, you'll have to supply the real phone number of your ISP, and y=
our=20
password, and I'm also assuming you log in to your ISP as "afilippov".
Also, I'm just assuming that you log on to your computer as user "alex", =
but=20
if you're user "al" or "alexander", that's what needs to go on the last l=
ine=20
of this file.
After you have ppp.conf all set up, you go online by typing in an Xterm:
ppp -background fromru
You hang up by typing:
killall ppp
The use of the word "fromru" is what I'm assuming you'll use because that=
's=20
the name of your ISP (according to your email address), but you can use a=
ny=20
word when you set up the configuration file - "armadillo" would be fine, =
but=20
then you'll have to type "ppp -background armadillo".
good luck,
Robert
