Internode PPPOE Setup

This is for the Internode Personal DSL plans. I have the following in my ppp.conf. Note the space before most of the lines, this is very important or otherwise the config file parse will get confused by the 'set device' line.

default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \
           OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set speed 115200
 set ctsrts on
 set server /var/run/ppp_tun%d foobar
 set urgent tcp 21 22
 set urgent udp 27010 27011 27012 27013 27014 27015 27016 27017 27018 27019 27020 27960

internode:
 set device PPPoE:fxp0
 nat enable yes
 nat deny_incoming no
 accept pap
 disable chap
 enable lqr
 enable dns
 set cd 5
 set dial
 set login
 set redial 5 0
 set authname username
 set authkey password
 add default HISADDR

Note I have NAT enabled, and I am allowing incoming connections, this may not suit you.

To start this automatically at boot add the following to /etc/rc.conf

ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="internode"

I have also written a Perl script which queries the usage meter which is available from here.
