ISP connection issue (Rick Fournier)

[Rick Fournier]

Could you include your ppp.conf file? (without passwords)
Does the connection fail or connect successfully?

If you can connect but having traffic issues check your mtu and mru's
This works for me using a diff ISP thats also using Bell lines in Montreal...

 set device PPPoE:ed0
 set authname username at isp
 set authkey password
 set cd 5
 set mtu max 1366
 set mru 1492
 set redial 0
 set timeout 120
 set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/24 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR
