Two things that I can think of.
1: PAP and CHAP authentication. Take a look at your config file for ppp.
It should have some entries for PAP and CHAP authentication. Many ISPs
do not necessarily use standard login and password to log you on. They
instead offer CHAP or PAP authentication services. You will want the
following lines included in your config.
accept pap
accept chap
disable pap
disable chap
2: Modem init info. When communicating with a modem. the AT lets the modem
know that the following chars (up to the next new line) are for the
modem to use to set the configuration. AT alone is just telling the
modem to return an OK. But just AT alone is not gonna set anything.
There are some init strings to pass to the modem on the first line.
The values AT&F will load the default modem strings. Many modems also
offer ATZ to set another modem string. Several modems will set the
same init strings with these.
Also: You are able to log in right? What errors do you get from the
ISP when you login and the session fails under FreeBSD?
Are you able to log in, then get wierd characters?
Do you get Login Failure Notices?
Please let us know of exactly what The ISP does.
