Thanks a lot for your suggestion . But I intent to run FreeBSD 5.2.1 
only and not 4.9 because
I need ufs2 for my other work (eg. I am porting ufs2 to linux ) .
I did a bit of tweaking to compile this program (which was for openbsd) .
on freebsd and had to do a lot of configuration changes for running
eci-load1 and eci-load2 successfully .

I will post ppp.conf in next mail .(I  am  currently away from that 
machine) .
For me ,the problem appears to be in ppp  program and not in eciadsl .

Will try this and let you know the results.

I know this for sure because as I said in my first mail , I am using the 
same
program on Linux  (on the same box with same modem ) to successfully 
connect
to the provider.
