Gee! The following is my WORKING /etc/ppp/options file: crtscts # enable hardware flow control modem # modem control line noipdefault # remote PPP server must supply your IP address. # if the remote host doesn't send your IP during IPCP # negotiation , remove this option passive # wait for LCP packets domain xxxxxx.com # put your domain name here connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script" netmask aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 123.456.789.123: # put the IP of remote PPP host here # it will be used to route packets via PPP link # if you didn't specified the noipdefault option # change this line to : defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be your # default router proxyarp # <--- this is what's missing... Problem solved. And yet the handbook said this option was outdated?! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
