Have you been able to successfully negotiate a connection to a different
PPP server from the FreeBSD box?  I had a problem a number of months ago
where bad serial port hardware was interfering with PPP.  I was able to dial
out using CU fine, I could connect to local BBS'es and such and everything
seemed to work, but when I tried it using PPP it wouldn't connect.  Changing
to a different el-cheapo taiwanese clone combo card fixed the problem.
