ppp problems : Modem connection issues on FreeBSD 5.2.1

[Niraj Kumar]

  Hi,

 I have a DSL modem with Globespan chipset.
 I am trying to use eciadsl usemode program
  ( http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php?lang=en )
 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 (AMD Athlon 2600 , A7N8X-VM  motherboard).

 However , I am getting the following error and
 ppp connect failed . See the copy/paste from the terminal below :
 
 # ppp -background adsl
 Working in background mode
 Using interface: tun0
 Child failed (errdead)
 
 After  some more digging , I was able to enable logging . (See log below)
 From whatever I see in the log , I guess the culprit is the line which 
 says :
 "Too many LCP NAKs sent - abandoning negotiation" .  But I don't know
 how to address this problem .
 Could anybody please help me on this .

NOTE  that I am able to connect to my provider using the 0.8 version of 
 usermode eciadsl program on Linux , on the same machine .

Also , is there any other program which can be used on FreeBSD for this
purpose ? FYI , I have to use *ppp over ATM ( PPPoA* == RFC2364 ) for this connection .
 
 
 If you need any more info , please let me know.
 thanks
 Niraj
