I'm running FreeBSD 1.1 BETA and am having some troubles getting ppp to work on my generic 486DX/33 over my Hayes compatible 9600 modem. I've been using tip for a while now with FreeBSD and have had virtually no problems with it. I've been dialing into a place that offers PPP links. So I recompiled my kernel with the line: pseudo-device ppp 2 (I also tried just 1). When I escape back out of tip to my local system (using ~^Z), I cd to /usr/libexec and try: pppd /dev/tty01 9600 It starts to work for a little bit, then all of the sudden a few seconds into it hangs up! Here's the results from /var/log/messages: Mar 29 04:00:13 bridge pppd[120]: Using interface ppp0 Mar 29 04:00:19 bridge pppd[120]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Mar 29 04:00:19 bridge pppd[120]: Quitting Does anyone here have any experience working with ppp or know how I can use these messages to figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer! :-) -- /----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Raymond L.
