re: pppd under freeBSD 2.0

After re-compiling the kernel with pseudo devices ppp and tcp-ip turned on
the pppd message 'not available on this system' is gone.  Still won't work though.

pppd simply will not execute the script pointed at by the 'connect' command
in the options file.  The first line in the shell script also writes to the xterm
and this output does not appear which tells me the script is never executed.

The tty01 device corresponds to DOS com2 and works just fine with Seyon.
The modem is a microcom QX/4232bis with MNP 10.
When pppd runs the DTR led on the modem turns on but no number is dialed.

Any ideas, advice?   Thanks, Glenn
