a.)

You will have to edit rc.conf and change the line containing wscons to

wscons=YES              wscons_flags=""

This will run rc.wscons on next bootup. You also need to check the
/etc/ttys and make sure that the terminals are enabled.

ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
ttyE1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
ttyE2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
ttyE3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure  


b.)

Issuing the following command will display the process running pppd

ps ax | grep pppd

I've made the following alias which make it a little easier on the
typing... ;)

alias show 'ps auxww | grep '

With this just type

show pppd

Add this command line into your .cshrc file if you like.


Hope this helps
