ppp connection

[fbsd_user]

Marvin,
You say user ppp is not dialing out. What makes you think your modem
is working at all. Does the dmesg.boot file show your modem being
found? Are you using an MS/Winmodem, is your modem an external
serial modem, USB external, internal PCI modem. Do you have
plug-n-play disabled and serial ports enabled in the motherboards
bios? What version of FBSD you are using? Does the 'TIP' command
connect to the modem and can you issue Hayes 'AT' commands to modem?
You have to provide much greater details about what you are trying
to do and what you have tried to do to debug problem. There is no
size limit to how big your email message can be so do not spare the
details.
The most important question HAVE YOU GOOLGE THE FBSD QUESTIONS LIST
EMAIL ARCHIVES FOR MODEMS OR USER PPP,  to try to find the answer to
your problem your self. For your information that is your first
place you should look when you have a problem. Your question has
been answered many times before on this list so please do the same
leg work the rest of us do when we have problems before throwing
your hands up into the air and asking for help. Take the time to
learn from the archives, the true fun of FBSD comes from figuring
out a problem on your own.  I use the this link to google all the
time.

If you still need help, post these files, /var/run/dmesg.boot
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf  /etc/rc.conf  /ver/log/ppp.log containing only
the last start of user ppp, and give all the details you can so
people have the complete picture of you're files to look for
problems.
