If only everyone would describe their problems like this :-)
The only thing I can see that may be causing problems is this.
> set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
You could *try* the following:
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0
But I'd be pretty surprised if it made a difference.
Try "set debug TCP/IP", and see what's happening. All IP
packets'll get logged in your ppp.log file.
If you see stuff going out with the correct IP numbers and
it gets no reply, then it's your ISPs fault. If nothing
(or something incorrect) goes out, it's your side.
If it's your side, try the latest ppp on http://www.freebsd.org/~brian
and drop me a line if you continue to have problems.
