Setting Up PPP on Solaris....

Hello Managers:
I'm in the process of setting up PPP on a Solaris environment and I have a
USRobotics V90
connected to an Ultra5. All configuration files seems to be ok.

Here is /etc/asppp.cf file

ifconfig ipdptp0 plumb admincl6 tb1-das1 down
path interface ipdptp0
        peer_system_name tb1-das1 # as in /etc/uucp/Systems
        inactivity_timeout 300 # timeout in 5 mins
        debug_level 1 # see var/adm/log/aspppd.log
        will_do_authentication chap # for CHAP authentication
        chap_name hello@tapi # as assigned by worldcom
        chap_secret secret # as assigned by worldcom
        negotiate_address on # Solaris 2.5 or later
        lcp_mru 552 # optimize round-trip delays

Here is the /etc/uucp/Devices file

########
#
#
# NOTE: blank lines and lines that begin with a <space>, <tab>, or # are
# ignored.
# protocols can be specified as a comma-subfield of the device type
# either in the Devices file (where device type is field 1)
# or in the Systems file (where it is field 3).
#
########
#
###ACU cua/b - Any hayes
###Direct cua/b - Any direct
###
###
SPORTERS cua/b - Any usrv32-ec
Direct cua/b - Any direct

Here is the /etc/uucp/Systems file

# Example:
# cuuxb Any ACU 1200 chicago8101242 in:--in: nuucp word: panzer
#
# See the System and Network Administration Manual for details
#
#
tb1-das1 Any SPORTERS 9600 8,1,203,555-5555 "" P_ZERO ""

And when I do a "ps -ef | grep aspp" I get the following:

root 97 1 0 11:43:02 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/aspppd -d 1

And when typing "ifconfig -a" this is the output:

lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 147.85.114.21 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 147.85.114.255
        ether 8:0:20:c1:5c:8b
ipdptp0: flags=28d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,UNNUMBERED> mtu
8232
        inet 147.85.114.21 --> 44.128.242.10 netmask ffff0000
        ether 0:0:0:0:0:0

As I said before everything seems to be ok. However my modem does not dial
out. Any idea on what's going on here.
Thanks so much for your cooperation. Vinnie.
