I'am actually using FreeBSD 2.05, and I still didn't figure out how to
write a connection script to connect to my Internet Provider.

If someone has written this stuff, or can give me tips, I'll
appreciate.

NB: my machine has also  ethernet on board  with IP=192.168.0.2, see
RFC 1597. 

The modem is an USR 14K4, and connected to COM2:

My Internet provider dynamically allocates IP adresses at the
connection.
The login sequence looks like this:

welcome to worldnet.....

login:MY_ACCOUNT		(reply with an account name)
password:******			(reply with the password)
PPP session from (194.2.128.244) to 194.2.128.35 beginning...

And the line is supposed to go PPP (or SLIP depending on the account)

Thanks by advance
