I've been trying to set up a Freebsd 2.0R machine to act both as a PPP
client and server. It is a client to our ISP to provide Internet
connectivity. This is working fine and uses ppp0. I am now trying to
configure it to act as a PPP server for incoming PPP clients. I am
currently using the dial-up PPP link that is included in Windows 95
(btw, I've used this successfully to connect to the ISP directly so I
know it works). I have the incoming connection configured in /etc/ttys
as follows:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty t19200" vt100 on secure
After logging in the following shell script is run:
#! /bin/csh -f
/usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.pppin
The options.pppin file contains the following information:
crtscts # enable hardware flow control
modem # modem control line
passive
domain cso.com
ppplocal:pppremote
netmask 255.255.255.240
-detach
#lcp-echo-interval 60
#lcp-echo-failure 2
The ip-up file exits if the tty is not equal to /dev/ttyd3.
I am able to connect and start PPP. I can ping sites on the Internet
and start to use a WEB browser, however, after several minutes the
machine drops the route to the PPP client. Here is the information the
shows up in the messages file:
Jul 15 01:57:44 gatekeeper pppd[6901]: pppd 2.1.2 started by ppplogin,

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
