PPP w/ DSL problems - urgent!!
 

I'm running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE.
I RTFM'd and figured out how to get ppp to talk to my DSL modem via PPPoE and get me connected to my ISP.
That was 3 months ago.
Just recently, it stopped working.
I plugged my Win98 box into the DSL modem to see if it was a problem on my ISP's side.
Win98 box talked and connected just fine without any problems.
Turned on debugging in ppp and tried to dial.
This is what I got:

ppp ON oak> dial
tun0: Command: /dev/ttyv1: dial
tun0: Phase: bundle: Establish
tun0: Phase: deflink: closed -> opening
tun0: Debug: List of netgraph node ``dc0:'' (id 2) hooks:

tun0: Debug: Connecting netgraph socket .:tun0 -> [4]::tun0

tun0: Phase: deflink: hangup -> closed

tun0: Phase: bundle: Dead


It LOOKS like ppp isn't registering a "carrier detect" from the DSL modem. But I'm not sure.

Can anyone help me shed some light on this, please? I've been without 'net connection for going on a week and all my mail is beginning to back up.

Thanks,
