Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello,
I reinstalled FreeBSD 2.2.6 rescently because I gave more space to it, 600megs instead of 300.
I was able to dial out PPP just fine before...but now after re-install I cannot.
I made backups of ppp.conf and ppp.linkup...however I didn't make a backup of rc.conf.
I seem to think there is a problem with the tun0 device...ifconfig doesn't say its running as i guess it should under the PPP tutorials section 3.2. (www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp9.html)
Here's what I get when i do a ifconfig -a

ex0: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:a0:c9:0a:ca:d0
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

During bootup I notice it lists the tun0 device twice, with the same attributes.
But it doesn't list it twice here.
I used to be able to type ppp, then it would give me a prompt (ppp>) and I would type dial provider....however, now it doesn't give me the prompt, it says Working in Interactive Mode..and nothing else comes up.
Here is rc.conf:

#!/bin/sh
#

# This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set
# to change the default startup behavior of your system.
#
# All arguments must be in double or single quotes.

I did turn the sendmail daemon off because it would hang on that part during bootup for 5 min or so.  I'm sure that has something to do with my PPP not working right. (taking so long)

Here is my ppp.conf:

default:
set speed 115200
set device /dev/cuaa1
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
provider:
set phone "2499212"
set login "TIMEOUT 10 gin:-BREAK-gin: sshower word: loren"
set timeout 300
deny lqr
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR

And ppp.linkup, but it never gets this far:

provider:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR

Please reply to my email address as well (thiel@genevaonline.com) as the freebsd-questions list gives me too many messages per day.  Thanks.
For extra info:
My computer is a Compaq Pentium 133 with 32 megs ram (though the kernel only finds 16). I have a local network connected through an Intel Etherexpress Pro/10.  PPP would be through the Compaq 19.2 data, 14.4 fax voice/voiceview modem.  It did work before. Quantum 1.08 GB drive on wd0, Western Digital 2.1 GB on wd2, and a mitsumi CD-ROM.  FreeBSD is on wd2s4.  Last partition on the 2nd drive.  I also have to type 1:wd(2,a)kernel after the boot: prompt.  This and the ram I figure would be fixed when I install a custom kernel...but I need ppp to work so I can download the source. :)
Last time i installed, ppp worked right away...not sure what I did different this time...
Thanks for any help you can give me!
