First of all, many thanks to Andre for helping as well as a couple others that gave some hints on my problems getting the PCMCIA setup and working on my Thinkpad. After realizing that "this ain't Solaris" and I needed to reconfigure the kernel things started to pickup on getting things going. I have my Montana card recognized, and I have some settings I put into my ppp.conf file. I can manually open ppp and manually enter the settings and dial, and it does connect, however, I'm at the point where I need to create some script to logon to my ISP. I was a bit confused as to the CHAP and PAP, I normally just use plain text, and Solaris allows me to enter prompts and responses in the uucp for the System it is calling (is that CHAP???) This probably belongs in another list, so if it annoys you, please refer me to the list I should send it to. BTW, I saw there was a driver for the 3Com 3c574-TX 10/100 NIC I have in the latest Red Hat Linux distribution, does that mean I might be able to see something for FreeBSD soon? I was thinking that source should be available, so could probably be ported, however, I don't have the knowledge on FreeBSD to do that myself. The way FreeBSD sets the ports up to extract, configure, compile, install, etc...it's a real work of art! That makes it so much easier than Solaris x86 (although the packages are not bad on x86) or Linux (the RPMs are not bad either). But the packages on FreeBSD are terrific! -- Alan DuBoff - Conductor Software Orchestration, Inc. aland@SoftOrchestra.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
