Hi everybody;

 I have set up my ppp config files as in the FreeBSD docs and my
cofigurations are simiar to what was suggested and there seems to be a
problem when I try 'ondemand' or 'pmdemand'.
I am trying to connect on a dynamic IP assignment to MY ISP and I am
running FreeBSD 2.2.6
My modem is a USR sportster 14.4 faxmodem external
DTR  normal
verbal result codes
display result codes
echo offline commands
supress auto answer
carrier detect normal
load NVRAM defaults
smart mode

I am able to connect using ppp terminal mode
after typing my login and password I get the prompt:
Entering PPP Mode
IP address is ***.***.***.***
MTU IS 1500 
I logged-in on a second virtual terminal and executed a ports collection
fetch for netscape4-navigator. It failed to get it from
ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.04/development/english ...
it tryed the ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles ...
it "dowloaded" only 5% in 15 mins and hungup!!

My kernel is setup for:

pseudo-device tun 2    (for a max of two ppp sessions)

'ifconfig -a'   shows:

tun0: flags=8010<POINTTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun1: flags=8010<POINTTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500


etc/host.conf   looks like:

#......
bind
hosts


etc/hosts    looks like:

#......
127.0.0.1      localhost
10.0.0.1       almazs.wgn.net  almazs
#......

resolv.conf   looks like:

nameserver  207.213.0.5      #primary dns for my ISP
nameserver  207.213.0.6      #secondary dns for my ISP
domain  wgn.net


ppp.conf   looks like:

#......
default:
 set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set device /dev/cuaa1      #my modem device on com2
 set speed 19200
 deny lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK

#.......

 set timeout 120
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

 add 0 0 HISADDR
#......
ondemand:
 set phone 8730055
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: almazs ppp word: ****** ppp"
 set timeout 120

 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR
#.....

ppp.linkup looks like:

#......
MYADDR:
 delete 0
 add 0 0 HISADDR
#.....
pmdemand:
 delete ALL
 add default HISADDR
 !bg /etc/ppp/ppp.etherup.pmdemand
 !bg sendmail -bd -q30m
#....

rc.conf    looks like:

hostname="almazs.wgn.net"

network_interfaces="io0 tun0 tun1"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"

ifconfig_tun0=""
ifconfig_tun1=""


defaultrouter="207.213.4.1"   #My ISP's gateway
static_routes=""
gateway_enable="YES"
router_enable="NO"
router="NO"

When I use ppp -auto pmdemand I get
Working in auto mode
using interface: tun0
almazs#
at this point 'ifconfig tun0' shows:

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xfffff00

but none of my applications can successfuly exeute ftp to fetch a file
or anything from the net.


when I use 'ppp ondemand'  the modem dials but fails to login
i.e 'warning: DialModem: login failed'

How do I get ppp to cooperate with me and connect on 'pmdemand' or
'ondemand'?
What is the best way to test if it is really working OK?

This particular problem has taken so much of my time it is not funny!!

Thanks

Dan
