need help with ppp
Sorry for using up bandwidth. I cannot connect to my ISP with FreeBSD (6.0). The ISP is not using PAP/CHAP in my case, but apparently something very old. Using minicom I can see that 1. my modem is connected to /dev/cuad0 2. after i dailled the ISP, they put me through a login. password and a local phase ie.after atdtISP phone_nbr \r, I see:- connect 115200 Login: my user_id \r Password: my_password \r Local I have tried to enter things like ppp, ~ppp cppp ppp after the (Local) in my chat_script but no go. In minicom, I see that they sometimes drop me into a shell to which I can only exit, Could someone give me a few more hints or the correct string to enter? please. Oh my ISP help is no use. They replied to my request with sorry we cannot help you (because) We at Technical Helpdesk are trained to support Windows and Mac based platforms. Your kind understanding is greatly appreciated. ARRGH !!

They enter unix login mode after some time of inactivity. I also recall that they tend to timeout really quickly. Did you try to use plain ppp? Could someone give me a few more hints or the correct string to enter? please. Oh my ISP help is no use.

ARRGH !! I also think that if special settings were required, your ISP's helpdesk would know. Just don't use any scary words like FreeBSD... Try a plain ppp first HTH, Nikos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In minicom, I see that they sometimes drop me into a shell to which I can only exit, Somewhere over a decade ago, I had a similar ISP, and we used start ppp or ppp start if I recall correctly. This was more than a decade ago, so I could be completely wrong, but you could try that. You could also try BSD's ppp dameon: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html which is similar to MacOS X's, so it may just work ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
