A number of people have posted theirs to the NetBSD mailing lists in the last few days, so that might be a good place to start. You can do it with the included PPP software. Here is my pppup script: #!/bin/sh pppd /dev/tty01 38400 connect 'chat -t 20 -f /usr/local/etc/chat-ppp' \ crtscts defaultroute lock modem And the /usr/local/etc/chat-ppp looks like: '' AT&F2S11=50L0\n OK ATDT<provider number>\n ID: <userid>\n password: <password>\n annex: ppp\n This is all from NetBSD, but I'm fairly sure that FreeBSD uses the same ppp package (if not I'm sure someone will correct me). alex
