(sorry if this has already been posted...my news reader started acting up
and I have no idea what happeneded to the original post)
Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD 2.2-970618-RELENG onto my system and have been
trying for the past two weeks to get access to the internet. I have spent
many hours pouring over the online manuals trying to get the interactive
PPP program working properly. The PPP program I am using is a "User Process
PPP" written by Toshiharu OHNO ("aka iijppp"), which version is "(8)"
according to the manual.
I have to use the interactive PPP since I do not have a _pppd_ "daemon"
built-in to my kernal.
I am trying to gain access to my ISP, Sprynet, so that I can make use FTP,
telnet, mail, or whatever I can figure out. Though I have run into a couple
of problems.
I am operating on a personal computer with no LAN or other local network
capabilities...just remote modem access.
Using the "term" command, I can successfully log onto the system I am
trying to reach. Through the semi-garble that appears on my screen, I can
make out the "Host Name:", "UIC:" and "Password:" prompts. Entering the
appropriate information appears to get me logged onto my account. The
program returns to the PPP prompt with the "Packet mode" message.
Here's where the problem occurrs.
I type the "shell" command so that I can get to FTP. But when I ftp to
(say) ftp.freebsd.org, the system just hangs until I hit CTRL-C. I tried
PINGing my ISP as well (165.121.20.65), but the system hung there to.
In fact, it doesn't seem to be able to do anything but sit there, despite
an apparently successful login. I will include the settings and other
information below, and if anyone could email me an answer, I would greatly
appreciate it. Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Note: I have a /dev/tun0 device present and available, that seems to be OK
Appologies if the reproduction isn't totally verbatim, since I cannot get
on the net with FBSD, I must use Windows, and I cannot copy output or files
to a different operating system.

(The output is semigarbled, but it's still clear what they are
asking. I am
confident it is receiving my input properly because if I intentionally
enter wrong information, it garbles something more and asks for "H!s% Nxme"
again.)

either)

Also, A more minor problem(for now) is that I cannot login with my script.

gets me as far as connecting to the other line, but it failes to send the
necessary login info.

I appreciate your willingness to read through all of this but I wanted to
make sure you had all of the information you needed. Thanks, I appreciate
any help that can be given.
