Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi I am going to use ppp to connect to my school server. But in handbook it says use ppp and set up some configuration files. I did. Then I got an error "failed to open modem". Thou at the same time, I have /dev/modem linked to /dev/cuaa4. and modem configured in my ppp.conf file. (I have tried all other possibilities I mean other ports. but none worked. ) And I read the part of setup kernel ppp in handbook and there is a section called working as ppp client. I checked it out and it said use pppd and configure ppp.options and use kermit to connect. Then i got Totally confused. Which one I should use to connect? And does anyone have a whole set of configuration files that can be shared with me? I'd really like to see some examples. By the way, My school server assigns dynamic IP address to me. Thanks in advance. I'll really appreciate that.
