#2 DNS Auto in KPPP in FreeBSD 7.1

2009-02-07 Thread Dmitry
Hi to All! Sorry for my bad English. My problem: I am have 3G/EDGE modem ZTE 
MF622+ and FreeBSD 7.1. In using KPPP (KDE 3.5.10) my modem can't connect to 
EDGE provider, because in KPPP not enabled option Auto DNS setting. If manually 
set this option, that says tech support of provider, pppd print, that not 
connect and not determinate IP adress. Why I can enable this option? In Linux 
this option is enabled and all working fine. Thank you!

pppd(8) has not had any serious work done on it for over two years, see
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/main.c
There was some talk in -net of dropping support for it altogether.

The KPPP authors have so far declined to consider adding support for 
FreeBSD's ppp(8), due perhaps to their primarily Linux orientation.

I suggest instead using either ppp(8) - which is extensively supported 
by the FreeBSD Handbook and in the mailing lists - or the net/mpd5 port, 
which uses in-kernel netgraph modules.  Both support fetching upstream 
DNS addresses.  I happily used ppp(8) for 10 years, but now prefer mpd.

cheers, Ian
