hello, i'm relatively new to freebsd and so far i'm delighted with the performance and stability. i have a continual problem with ppp though and i've searched the documentation and contacted my isp for an answer. maybe you have a suggestion. there are really 2 separate issues: 1. authentication is like rolling the dice. it seems about a 50/50 chance that i get the ppp in capitals. once there, my connection with my isp is rock-solid. but half the time i get an error (some strange machine code) during what looks like the first stage of authentication (the lower case p's). 2. (maybe related to number 1?) when i first modified ppp.conf i could not get my modem to be recognized using /dev/cuaa0, 1, etc. (although my modem *is* connected to a serial port). so i just sort of stumbled on using ttyd0, which works fine except for the problem described above. any help you can offer would be appreciated. thanks, johnhome | help
