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

I think that some network access servers work in both "unix login"
and ppp mode. 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?

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

need help with ppp

2006-10-03 Thread KHOO Guan_Chen

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 atdt \r, I see:-

connect 115200
Login:  \r
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  !!
