Default /etc/ppp settings for Earthlink

I am trying to setup an old box with a Zoom 2920 pci hardware modem.
It is going into an airplane hanger that only has a phone line.
My dmesg finds the modem and assigns it com3

I looked at the OpenBSD networking FAQ and am putting most of my effort in ppp rather than pppd.



My ppp.conf
Quote:
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set device /dev/cua03
set speed 115200
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\
dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
allow user flyer

Earthlink:
set phone 5944062
set login
set authname *********@earthlink.net
set authkey *********
set timeout 120
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns
I also added the following chat script when ppp Earthlink >dial indicated the chatscript failed

My Chatscript:
Quote:
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ OK ATDT*70,5944062
CONNECT ''
'' ''
'' ''
Userid:--Userid: *******@earthlink.net
assword?--assword? *********
Again the ppp Earthlink > dial says the chatscript failed.

I'm trying to make this easy for others to use so I installed current xfce4 with xfce4-modemlights

I know that dialup modems are nearly extinct but there is no other way to connect.

I tried the guide here but it used pppd and I get the sense it is dated
and pppd is not the preferred method now days.http://openbsd-wiki.org/index.php?title=Dialup_PPP
Also tried this Absolute OpenBSD link on setting up modems (needs flash plugin to view)
http://books.google.com/books?id=wuU...p.conf&f=false
I recall that earthlink required PAP/CHAP and previously had to set the DNS name servers manually.

Anyone using earthlink dialup in openbsd can share their basic ppp setup?
