I never could get 2.0 to boot on my NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI
system.  I finally tried a later kernel, which booted fine.
However, I could never get ppp to work.  A couple of people
suggested this was a version compatibility problem between
the kernel and either libraries or executables.  Not having
a network connection, and not wanting to deal with billions
of floppies, I punted and tried a new Slackware Linux CD,
and everything came up great.  In the meantime, though, I
had found (did you guess?) some modem config problems.

But, I really like BSD!  And I *need* multiple IP addresses
on one ppp server.  So, I need a definitive answer.  or at
least an fairly confident educated guess.  Now that I know my
modem is cinfig'd properly, if I get a later than 2.0 kernel,
will everything work OK without me downloading all the rest
of FreeBSD?  in particular, do you think the pppd will work?

Thanks,
