That looks like your modem isn't responding. Try this as root
type "ppp eee" (starts in interactive mode)
type "term" (talk to modem directly)
type "AT" (your modem should say OK after this)
type "~." then "quit" to get out of PPP
eg,
root@scientia# ppp demon
Working in interactive mode
Using interface: tun0
ppp ON scientia> term
deflink: Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa2
Type `~?' for help
AT
OK
<-- type ~. here, but it doesn't show on screen
ppp ON scientia> quit
root@scientia#
If your modem doesn't say "OK", something is wrong. Perhaps you're using
the wrong port? (Remember that COM2 is /dev/cuaa1, _not_ /dev/cuaa2.) If
you're sure you're using the right /dev/cuaa device, perhaps it's set up
wrong in the kernel? Make sure the `device sio1' in the kernel config
file has the right port/IRQ, etc. (sio1 assumes you're using COM2, if
you're modem is on COM3, use sio2, etc.) Other information would help,
like is it an internal or external modem?
