Hi, all
I wrote a short script to dialup and start ppp daemon only
if carrier detected. ( pppd can't do this and it won't return
dialup status. please correct me if I was wrong. :-) Any way,
the following routine work fine under linux but not for freebsd.
Under freebsd, it repeat dial until carrier detect and start ppp
daemon. this way, ppp daemon always tell me 'config request
timeout'. But if put chat sequence into ppp command line, it
works. I don't get it. It might be serial port config problem. But
I can't figure out what's wrong.
Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
#
# Function: Connect
#
# Return value: 0 - connect to ppp server successfully
# 1 - ppp device not created
# 2 - chat failed to make connection
# 3 - failed to change ownership of serial device
