ppp confusion

[fbsd_user]

You need to read    man ppp   some more.  Using the form of the
command "ppp -auto myisp"  puts ppp in silence mode, you will not
get an console messages that ppp is "on", you have to look in the
/var/log/ppp.log for your log messages.  Use just "ppp" command
alone to go into manual mode and then you will get console messages.

You left out all the details about your environment. Before
reposting get all the details together and post them with your
question.  Dmesg.boot ppp.log ppp.conf details about modem

Subject: ppp confusion

hi,
I'm new to BSD and am having trouble configuring my ppp.My ppp.conf
file is
the same as the manual accept for:
line 7 set login
line 15 accept PAP
and line 17 set if addr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255
my ppp.linkup file says
MYADDR:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR
my hosts file says
127.0.0.1 nevsbsd.nevsbsd localhost
The lights on my modem go on when I type"ppp -auto myisp"  but I
don't get PPP
ON or any indication that I'm connected. I tried ping -c
210.216.27.18 and
got "invalid count of packages to transmit".I've read all the
instructions I
could find but each is slightly different and I'm not sure what to
do next.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received
thanks in advance
neville
