[ale] Free BSD

[Robert Heaven]

Did you set up your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file? Here's mine. Please note the
indentions and the ":" on the label "myispname:" are important. To operate
mine I type "ppp" which gives me the "PPP>" prompt and then I type "dial
myispname" which does the rest.
############################## /etc/ppp/ppp.conf #####
default:
   ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
   set device /dev/cuaa0
   set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
   set speed 115200
   set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
myispname:
   delete default
   set phone <isp phone number>
   set login
   set authname <username>
   set authkey <password>
   set timeout 3600   # 60 minute idle timer
   set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
   add! default HISADDR   # Add a (sticky) default route

To check for irq conflicts type "dmesg | grep irq" and see which ones are in
use.
