I tried all this with much frustration. Best to forget all the "kuntzn". If the ethernet is set up and you can ping the modem and the "network", a provider file like this worked for me, suggested by list members:
# These are the options to dial out to your default service provider. # Please customize them correctly. Only the "provider" file will be # handled by poff and pon (unless with extra command line arguments). # The chat script (be sure to edit that file, too!) connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider" # Set up routing to go through this PPP link defaultroute # Keep modem up even if connection fails persist maxfail 25 # Optional, suggested to cure a dropout problem: holdoff 30 # use pptp as connection manager enter your IP pty "pptp 10.0.0.138" user "YourLogin" Make sure that your login and password are in the chap secrets file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
