Sorry, Pedro and I have been emailing offline and
the thread here has gotten a little garbled.
It looks like his ISP's ppp server doesn't like
the way Plan 9's ppp client talks to it. In particular
the server won't respond to an empty configuration
request (meaning that the client has gotten all the
info it needs). So we changed ppp to always include
the negotiated IP address so that the config request
is never empty. That seems to have gotten past
the ppp problems.
I suggested inserting the loopback ipconfig into
/rc/bin/termrc before dns starts so that it would not
be necessary to start dns after pppoe. (It's really
a bit of a bug that dns refuses to run without an
IP address in the first place).
If dns is already running, then it is not necessary
to echo refresh into any files after starting pppoe:
ppp (which pppoe runs) knows to do that for itself.
Russ
