I seem to be getting stuck with FreeBSD 2.10 with the PPP command
structure to auto connect with my service provider,
I have rewritten the ppp.conf file so many times trying to get it to work
and force the correct router to connect, so far only 1 time out of 10 it
manages to hit the correct address, Seems to chuck away until the
portmaster on the ISP's end finally allows the address to pop up by
chance.
I heard that there was a solve out there to cure the infinite redial
problem, If anyone knows what it is, Please E-Mail me the samples
from a working system.
I run a web site on a dial-up line and wish to continue using FreeBSD
but I don't have much more hair to pull out when after days of working
and re-connecting itself, It suddenly refuses to connect.

I have my domain name assigned but ISP wont toggle DNS until I solve
the problem and they are ignoring my request's for technical assistance
and they run FreeBSD 2.10 themselves....
I have read and printed the man pages and scrounged everywhere that I can
think of to find the answer, tried all kinds of configurations and
still have a partially unreliable system...I wonder if my ISP has
some error that I keep finding?
