Ahhh...
Yes, it is s6. It worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.

I am having a very frustrating time w/freebsd
trying to learn how to connect w/my isp.
The isp is erols/starpower/rcn. They have some docs.
for linux but I can not make the leap to implementing
for freebsd.
I have seeked help on the net from the appropiate groups
and so far people have been sending me huge customized
config files which have dsl support, firewalls - who knows what!
I've got kernel recompile instructions from people...
ALL I am looking for is help preferably by someone who
has recently connected to this ISP via dial-up modem directly.
No gateways, no ethernet. Just a hardware modem directly.
I can't find this info anywhere. Is there anyone who uses these
isps or is willing to review the Linux documentation
for connecting to them and help propperly configure FreeBSD?
Thanks

It's relatively easy under FreeBSD - if you know where to
start.
I live in New Zealand, and connect to my ISP over a dial
up modem. To get it working after a standard install of
FreeBSD 4.3 I simply:
1. copied /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
2. Edited it to have my details (ISP phone number,
login/pass) in the "papchap" section (near the top
of the file I think).
3. Ran "ppp papchap", and got it to dial by typing
"dial" at the ppp interface.
That's it! It just worked first off for me.
Type "close" to terminate the link.
All that is done at the console/xterm. If you're using KDE
you can just use its Internet Dialer (kppp), which is
as easy to set up as Windows' dialup networking.
Best of luck,

Do what their web page says for /etc/resolv.conf
The /etc/host.conf file already has what's right (just hosts before bind)
so do nothing there
Then, just edit /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as other responder said--just
fill in phone, username, and password.
The linux ppp is different from FreeBSD's and not all the stuff in
the file is the same.
Annelise
P.S. set device /dev/cuaa0 for COM1 for cuaa1 for COM2

Subject: help w/connecting to my isp
I am having a very frustrating time w/freebsd
trying to learn how to connect w/my isp.
The isp is erols/starpower/rcn. They have some docs.
for linux but I can not make the leap to implementing
for freebsd.
I have seeked help on the net from the appropiate groups
and so far people have been sending me huge customized
config files which have dsl support, firewalls - who knows what!
I've got kernel recompile instructions from people...
ALL I am looking for is help preferably by someone who
has recently connected to this ISP via dial-up modem directly.
No gateways, no ethernet. Just a hardware modem directly.
I can't find this info anywhere. Is there anyone who uses these
isps or is willing to review the Linux documentation
for connecting to them and help propperly configure FreeBSD?
Thanks

Hell all!
I upgraded my FreeBSD 4.3 to the 4.4 and gave a strange situation - it =
maps only ONE machine from the subnetwork
My ipnat rule is:
map 192.168.1.0/24 -> 217.106.243.155/32
Anybody knows what's wrong?
May be this is because of the old-style rule?
Help, please.
Thanks,
Dmitry.

I wanna do it the "BSD way", directly w/the config. files.
I'll try w/the info I see already from your and
the many other kind replys.
Let me give it a try w/the info I have now and see what happens.
I will report back.
btw, dmesg says sio4 for my serial port. so would
I put cuaa4 were it's called for in a config file? assume so.
thanks,
Lee Gold

I should move to the questions mail group,
I think I have a modem problem. My ISA USR
sportster modem is showing as sio4 in dmesg.
Is this a problem? If so I might have to recompile the kernel?
or adjust the jumpers on the modem. I think my dual boot
win2k sees the modem as com3. I'd like to understand what's
going on before I try connecting to the ISP.

I got minicom to see my modem.
IT needed to use /dev/cuaa4 and then I had to
change the default permissions on cuaa4. ATH> Ok.
What really has helped my the most is a Linux Book:
Kofler, Michael "Linux: Installation, Configuration, Use"
This book has helped me more than the FreeBSD books I have.
it's a great book.

Eej all,
When I try to dial in (FreeBSD 4.3) using user-PPP I get the response
"chat script failed", so I try to dial in manually.
I used stty -f /dev/cuaa1 echo to switch on echo-ing, byt when I use ppp
it does not echo. It does ring however when I type ATD(number).
How cat I switch on echoing on this device, so I can config my modem
(ig switch on tone-dialing :-) and dial in?
Grtz, Marc

FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit
(This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list.
It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/)
FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about
installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests
are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions.
FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to
questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies.
FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and
covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt
with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on
our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how
to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to
use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories,
moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the
FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to
freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are
doing the same things that we do as newbies.
One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find
help when we need it. Here are some suggestions:
When something doesn't work the way you expect
1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at
http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and
security advisories.
2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at
http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html
3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of
`uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question
to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG.
Mailing lists
When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only
one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG.
FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as
more general and advanced questions.
You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a
question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you
personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and
followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them
different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to
freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the
recent questions and their answers.
Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer
FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when
they get questions which are difficult to understand.
http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too.
If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and
ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to
the support mailing list.
Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing
list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might
get the answer right away. It's always worth trying.
Other mailing lists
(http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS)
cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll
need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's
probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for
advice about where to post a more specialised question.
FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional
announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick
Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too.
Manuals
You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to
use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not
always as easy as it sounds!
If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a
brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need,
always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you
do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction.
Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is
encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at
http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html
Other resources
A resource list is available at
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and
inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It
includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web
pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a
suggestion for good material to be included, please write to
freebsd-newbies and tell us about it.
But I have seen people asking questions here!
It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a
mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from
time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't
belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose
job it is to sort these problems out privately.
The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It
is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies
so we all make mistakes. That's OK.
One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions,
believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies,
not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the
situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to
redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently.
There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either.
So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions
as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies
can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on
our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not
allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the
mistakes that we need to make in order to learn.

I ran out of space on the boot disk and I need more room for /usr. Is it
possible to combine two slices from two different hard disks and mount
them to the same point? If not, what else can be done?
TIA
Richard
