I do not see a ppp.options file. I thought ppp.options was used for kernel ppp when not using pap/chap. I am confused since I see about 10 different ways and scripts for ppp. I have not found one cogent explanantion in any freebsd document. For example the handbook say something about kernel ppp for a cisco hub(?) I want to connect to my ISP THAT"S ALL. And it's bewildering. FreeBSD is not easy for someone with average intelligence like me. YEs, I will keep hacking until I can connect, I will keep hacking untill I can get an X windows where I can be even remotely as productive as the GUI on win2k. It's all a hack - I still can't find step by step documention with technical side bars. I rarely get anything out of man pages. They seem like they are written in another language not english. Another eg. I try blackbox wm, I get a pitchblack screen and a staic task bar of some kind. No usability. I try gwm, I get a real color fest here again I'll spend weeks hacking it until I get productive. Fonts? I got all the fonts again, at least a day figuring the fonts. ppp-on, ppp-off, what's ppp.conf.sample? Print it out and spend a couple hrs figuring it out - is there a doc. that will take me thru it line by line? Wwould be a real help for people of average intelligence.
