I'm having difficulty getting my BSD PPP to work. I followed the
tutorial that's available at freebsd.org. My problem is once it dials
out and appears to login to my ISP (I get the ok prompts) I then
shell out and initiate a ping or whois command. 

My cursor just carraige returns to the next line, nada. I can ^C
out of it and back to my shell. When I do a ps -e it shows that my PPP
is running.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. george-
