}-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of }Igor Ignatovich }Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 3:13 AM }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: high speed modem connection } } }Hello All, } I use FBSD-4.0 box. I consider to } subscribe for fast-internet service provided } by Reflex(up to 1Mbps). Acc. to their web page they } provide high speed modem and I must have NIC. } My question is: may I be sure that FBSD supports } that kind of connection? it's not the connection that needs support. what needs support is the interface to that connection (i.e. NIC) May be smb. here has } experience tuning Reflex ISP within FBSD? } What kind of high speed modem and NIC I should } insist to have in order FBSD will support it? My ISP provided me with an ADSL modem. If you need your own, check out a Cisco 675, if you plan to get ADSL. For a NIC, my Intel Ether Express 10/100 works quite nicely, supported by the fxp driver in FreeBSD. } If hardware is supported so what steps/changes } I should make within OS?(for last seven years I } used only dial-up ISP). Read up on how to modify/customize your kernel. Your kernel will need to have "fxp" support in it for it to recognize the Intel NIC. There are several others to choose from. I just use that example because that's what I use here. } Direct answers or providing links to answers will } be highly appreciated. links? start at http://www.freebsd.org and follow the links from there. Ask and ye shall receive. Search and ye shall be enlightened. } } Thanks, } Igor I. } } } } }__________________________________________________ }Do You Yahoo!? }Yahoo!
