Subject: [9fans] connecting to ISP with PAP?

Here is what I have done:

1.  Copied ppp.bod to /sys/src/cmd/ip/ppp
2.  % disk/kfscmd allow
3.  % chmod 777 ppp.bod
4.  % ppp.bod
        (Here, some info was provided telling me to use
        -X to extract.)
5.  % ppp.bod -X
        973778772/ppp.c: /sys/src/cmd/ip/ppp/ppp.c is not
        the original distribution file
        (A directory was created but not sure if this comment
         is telling me the patch was applied successfully.)
6.  Into /rc/bin/termrc I put:
    host=myloginname
    pass=myISPpassword
7.  I added the IP numbers of my ISPs Domain Name Servers
    so that my /lib/ndb/local looks like:
    database=
            file=/lib/ndb/local
            file=/lib/ndb/common
    dns=195.121.1.34
8.  My ISPs server uses DYNAMIC IP numbers.
9.  % telco /dev/eia1
    (Is there a way to set this up at boot time?)
    (There is maybe a 5 sec. pause at this time then
     the prompt is displayed.)
10. % ip/ppp -fP -m 1500 -p telco!0,5303333 -s $host:$pass
    (Modem dials out, about a min later I hear it disconnect
     and the following is displayed.)
    *s*: *s*: *r*
    telco 181: suicide: sys: trap: fault read addr=0x24448900
    pc=0x24448900
    (The process stops here...)

I think I am close to a solution on this. I appreciate the
help I have been given to get to this point. Can anyone
suggest what to do next?
