Greeting and salutations,
my everyday idyll has recently been interrupted while I
was trying to set up my FreeBSD box as a gateway.
It has an ISDN card for connecting to the Internet and
an ethernet card for connection to the rest of my network.
First, I had to recompile the kernel to enable support for my
ISDN card(W9662 chip) as iwic0.
Then came the tweaking of several configuration files. Finally,
I tried establishing the connection as follows:
wier# ppp
Working in interactive mode
Using interface: tun0
ppp ON wier> dial papchap
ppp ON wier>
after the "dial papchap" command I just get hte ppp prompt back.
Shouldn't it be informing me about the status of the dialing?
the command "ifconfig tun0" says:
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
Opened by PID 54
What am I doing wrong, am I using the correct procedure to establish
a connection? I want to establish only one 64k link.
I am using FreeBSD Release 4.7. Here are my configuration files:
<<< /etc/ppp/options >>>
/dev/cuaa0 115200
crtscts
modem
passive
noipdefault
defaultroute
<<< /etc/ppp/ppp.conf >>>
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
set device /dev/i4brbch0
set speed sync
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)
papchap:
set phone ISP_NUMBER
set authname MY_USERNAME
set authkey MY_PASSWORD
enable lqr
set reconnect 3 5
set redial 3 10
set lqrperiod 45
disable pred1 deflate mppe
deny pred1 deflate mppe
set dial
set login
set logout
set hangup
set ifaddr 0 0
add default HISADDR

I spent 7 hours trying to configure this box as a gateway with an
ISDN connection. Could someone provide me with some clue or hints
as to where I am erring.
