I want to setup a PPP connection over a serial connection between them. When I use pppd command, I get a message that ppp support is not built into the kernel. so, my question is: how do I go about rebuilding the kernel to include ppp support. also what are the steps I need to perform to establish this ppp connection between two pc's running FreeBSD over a serial (null modem) connection. your help greatly appreciated, tony
