Hi Tom,

Just saw you got it working, after I had prepared the post below, sounds good. But I might as well post it anyway in case some of it is helpful later on. (But don't fix what ain't broke! )

I use pppd for Internet connection. Here are the parameters that I use on NetBSD:

Code:
/dev/modem 57600
asyncmap 0
0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0    <-- may be obsolete
mru 1500
mtu 1500
kdebug 0
lock
modem
crtscts
noipdefault
defaultroute
usepeerdns
Some of these you may need/want to change or omit, but I think the "modem" and "crtscts" are important.

About DNS, its conceivable your ISP is not providing them? You could always try writing in your own DNS nameserver IP's into /etc/resolv.conf (and/or /etc/named.conf if you're running BIND, then reload it).

Also, as s0xxx suggested I think defaultroute is important. You should check what your routing looks like after dialing up with

# route show
