Here is my ppp.conf file that contains notes about configuring dial
in connection. Follow imbedded instruction to enable dial in
connections.

# /etc/ppp/ppp.conf File for dial out modem to ISP and Dial in modem
for
# connection to this FBSD system.
#     Written by Joe Barbish 12/10/2001
#
# This is a working ppp.conf file I use to dial in to my ISP and to
connect
# my Win98 box by dialing in to this FBSD box and accessing the
internet.
# There are options in this ppp.conf file that I do not use, But
present them
# here for you to turn on by un-commenting the statements to meet
your needs.
#
# For Nic to DSL configuration see www.daemonnews/200101/pppoe.html
#
# This ppp.conf documentation is based on a fresh install of FBSD
4.8 with
# all file content as delivered with no user changes.
#
# NOTE  Any FBSD documentation that says that the physical modem has
to have
# it's default options profile set to, NO command echo ATE0 and NO
results
# string ATQ1 and saved to the physical modems onboard non-volatile
memory
# (NVRAM)  or any references to using programs tip, kermit, mgetty,
or minicom
# to perform the dial function is obsolete and out dated as of FBSD
4.0.
#
# Setup Instructions.
#   Note  steps 4 through 7 are only for dial in setup.
# 1. Recompile kernel and change pseudo-device  tun 1  to  tun 4
#    GENERIC kernel defaults to 1 and you need 1 tun device for each
com port
# 2. Add gateway_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf so dialin connection
can gain
#    access to internet.
# 3. Since a private internal IP address numbering scheme is used
for IP
#    addresses behind this FBSD box the -nat option must be included
on the
#    ppp command that starts the  ppp task to dial the ISP.
#    NAT = Network Address Translation. Changes your private
internal IP
#    address to your public IP address that you get from your ISP
for
#    outbound messages and does the reverse for inbound messages.
#    From the command line example  ppp -background -nat dialisp
# 4. Using root create file /etc/ppp/ppplogin
#    Create file ppplogin  with following 2 statements
#    #! /bin/sh
#    exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct incoming
#
#    incoming is the section label name in ppp.conf to be processed
when
#    ppp is started by this script's exec command.
#
#    This script will be launched by getty when it detects a ppp
dialin
#    connection attempt. Program ppp belongs to group network, so
you have to
#    change file ppplogin group to network and it's permissions to
read/write
#    for the owner, read/execute for group, and none for everyone
else.
#    chgrp network ppplogin           assign file ppplogin to group
network
#    chmod 650 ppplogin               set permissions
# 5. Change the default section of /etc/gettytab file for automatic
ppp
#    recognition by specifying the pp capability. Add following
#    :pp=/etc/ppp/ppplogin:
# 6. Edit /etc/ttys to enable a getty on the port where the dialin
modem
#    is attached. com2 = ttyd1     find statement like this
#    ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup off secure
#    Change off to on to activate. Verify line speed is correct
(std.38400)
#    This value is defined in /etc/gettytab. After saving edited
results
#    issue kill -1 1 command to spawn getty. Use ps ax to show
active tasks.
# 7. cp /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.secret.sample
/etc/ppp/ppp.secret
#    Edit /etc/ppp/ppp.secret file adding the ID and password for
each user
#    that is authorized to login to this FBSD box using dialin
modems.
# 8. TESTING  Issue command ppp -background -nat dialisp to test
configuration
#    Use commands ps ax to see task list. ifconfig -a to see if tun
is running
#    netstat -ir to see routing. /var/log/ppp.log to view ppp log
events
#    ps ax to get ppp -background task number & kill -1 number to
terminate.
# 9. Once you are done with testing, make functions permanent.
#    Dial ISP at FBSD bootup. Add following to /etc/rc.conf file
#    ppp_enable="YES"
#    ppp_mode="ddial"
#    ppp_profile="dialisp"
#    ppp_nat="YES"

Subject: Dialin problem

Hi, if anyone has done dial-in service before
i am having is that my modem does pick up the phone when i dial in,
and the two modems establish a connection, but the OS does not do
anything there is no login prompt, i was able to send data directly
to the port and see it on the other computer with command:  echo
"Hello" > /dec/cuaa0, Also i read that if getty completes the open
port process then it changes from ?? in the PS screen to something
it does not, so i am assuming that getty doesn't realize that the
connection has been established, any ideas?
