I am new to Free bsd and installed PC-BSD 9 recently in my desktop. Its a
dual boot with windows 7 and I use ZTE ac8700 to connect to internet. From
windows the Usb stick is working fine ahe driver for windows need phone no
#777 , username and password to connect . I tested the device and its
working fine in Linux too . But in PC-BSD neither  the default gui is
working nor the CLI is clicking. A wvdial port might have helped as in
linux it worked like charm with real easy configuration. I have some
duckduckgo-ing and tryed to edit a few configuration on my own as gui is
not helping .

In my my PC-BSD /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file looks like .


default:

set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)

set device /dev/cuaU0.0

set speed 115200

set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
set timeout 180 # 3 minute idle timer (the default)

enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf)




isp:

set phone #777

set authname Username

set authkey pass

set dns 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.222 # openDNS

#set ifaddr 10.1.0.2/0 10.1.0.1/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0

# add default HISADDR
enable dns




Now ppp -ddial isp gives me



kernel: tun0: link state changed to UP

ppp[18473]: tun0: Warning: Chat script failed

in /var/log/messages ..

can someone please put some light on whats wrong in here or please help me
to write a ppp.config

Here's the output of my pc configuration ..
