Hand) Newsgroups: comp.protocols.ppp,comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Help With Pppd (FreeBSD 1.1) Date: 6 Jan 1995 12:17:22 -0800 Organization: University of California, Riverside Lines: 38 Message-ID: <3ek8gi$8uv@galaxy.ucr.edu> Greetings All, I need some help. I am trying to call out to a ppp server, running on a terminal-server. I have FreeBSD 1.1, with an Intel FaxModem 144. I reconfigured my kernel to support ppp with the following: pseudo-device ppp 5 I am also using the shell-scripts that are in the ppp.faq from freebsd.org (or whatever). The problem is that when I break out of kermit and execute "pppd /dev/tty01 19200", the line drops. I think that I have tried all of the various options in /etc/ppp/options, for instance specifying "local" and "rtscts"... am I missing something? Any advice from someone who has encountered this before? I would appreciate some advice. The other item involves the remote IP address of the ppp-server... In my case, I believe that it is a Cisco router/terminal-server. It reports to have an IP associated with its ethernet interface, but the net-administrator tells me that there is a separate IP for the "router-interface." I think that these reside on the same physical machine... Which IP should I specify as the "remote" IP address for the point-to-point connection? Thanks. Kolin
