I am able to follow the menus just fine up until I get to the actual installation point. I enter all the addresses that I know then hit enter then it says hold down alt and f3 or something like that to switch to the ppp dialer, then type term... Well, what do I do after that I have tried atdt{isp's phone number} but nothing happens, I feel that there is something that I am lacking (perhaps a brain??) I am not sure if bsd knows that I have a modem, I think it detected the com port but beyond that it never asked for a modem. What exactly do I do. Any help would be greatly appreciate thank you very much. Jeff Patton "You know much that is hidden, oh Tim." "Quite" Monty Python - Quest for the Holy Grail
