I am very new to, and infatuated with FreeBSD. With some help I have
it running in my home using DNS. My hopes are to make it a proxy
sever so that the entire family can access the internet via their own
machines via ethernet via FreeBSD.
Yesterday I did get PPP to work when I manually dial using TERM. I
have spent three hours today trying to get it to dial from the PPP
command line (dial provider). No luck
My ppp.conf file is exactly that found in section 11.1.5 of the
FreeBSD Handbook. When I type dial provider on the command line the
response is-
dial OK!
time passes
login failed.
The modem does not appear to be hit at all.
I have spent my computing life missing the simple things. I fear
that I have done that again. would certainly appreciate any
suggestions.
Thanks,
dmd
