The error messages were mainly of the "no route to host"/"lookup failure" variety. I solved this problem when, purely while playing around, decided to set up a chat script from the default file (pretty much copying ppp.conf.sample to ppp.conf modifying only the details necessary to login to my isp), and it seemed to work. I checked the ppp.conf file, and discovered that the "default" (loaded when I try to use ppp directly (just executing it by typing ppp, then term, etc...) didn't have the "set ifaddr" lines. I haven't tried adding them, because my chat scripts now work and I really have no desire to run ppp from the command line/terminal interface again. But all is well in DanMahoney land. -- "You can't call yourself a dork if you don't use UNIX!" -Dan Mahoney, May 1997 Dan Mahoney (webpages TBA) (finger for PGP public key) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
