There's no need to run PPP over DSL. In fact, I doubt it's even possible. As far as the computer is concerned, the DSL bridge is plain old ethernet. Just configure your interface and you're off - no phone numbers, no dial scripts. When I switched over to DSL (not BA except for the wire to the CO), I had to do some reconfiguration. This was partly due to switching ISPs at the same time. IIRC, I had to change /etc/rc.conf to take ppp0 off the interface list, configure my outside interface and to set it as the natd_interface. I also had to change some IPs and so forth. >In addition, when using DSL with Win95 (ISP is Bell Atlantic) the dial >up dialog contains 111-1111 as the phone number. ... Why is it there? It's just more Windoze brain damage. It seems like they go out of their way to confuse the user and conceal what's actually happening. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org [place witty saying here] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
