Hi Guys,

My first email to this list, so hello to all. I'm having a similar problem with 
pppd on NetBSD. Been using FreeBSD for almost 2 years. I have on 
problems connecting with it.

Tried dty00 and tty00, both with the same results. Took out noauth,
and it complained.

I'm totally at a loss. Tried loads of different option and *-secrets setups. 
Played with wol and wol.chat some. Just can make any sense of why it's 
not getting pass that point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.
