How to setup dial-up ADSL broadband connection on FreeBSD, which require username and password authentification???
I tried all solutions which i could find on net , but no one seems to work.
Back when I first started on ADSL I had to use mpd or pptpclient. Both are in the ports and worked for me. These days however my xDSL modem takes care of connecting.
If the device in question is indeed a DSL router, and is also configured to act as one, then all you should need to do is to set the Ethernet interface in FreeBSD to DHCP.
If the device is only a "DSL modem", or a router, configured to act as a bridge, then you will need to setup PPPoE on the FreeBSD box. For this you will need:
/usr/sbin/ppp
config files correctly set up in /etc/ppp
'device tun' in your kernel config
'options NETGRAPH' in your kernel config
'options NETGRAPH_PPPOE' in your kernel config
Reading ppp(8), or at least the relevant parts of it, sure is a good thing
In any case, your first action should be to determine, what this device is actually configured to act as.
