After some minor mistake on my part I wound up having to reinstall NetBSD
and I installed it as well as the ppp-dod.tgz kit.  Here's what I've done
as well.  My /etc/hosts file have been set so that the first line reads:
127.1                               localhost           wizzard.tiac.net
(this is the host name with my ISP)

My /etc/resolv.conf file reads:
199.0.65.2
199.0.65.8
199.0.65.9

I have set all the options in /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/ppp-numbers, and
/etc/ppp/ppp-login.  I have also changed the modem init string in
/etc/ppp/ppp-dial.

I restarted and tried it out.  I typed in ppp-start to start it it said
something about connecting then connected.  It said in "PPP-DOD-HOW-TO" to
do this then to type in something like ftp ftp.NetBSD.ORG to dial out and
get a connection.  all it does is come back as:
host not found
ftp>

Could someone please help me out on what I am doing wrong?  Oh when I type
in ftp ftp.NetBSD.ORG it doesn't even try to dial the modem.  I have
checked ps -aux and found the pppd is in fact up and running.  Any help on
this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Albert
