Could anyone help me to be able to get on the net from bsd so I can finish installing my system and actually start using it? I've been digging through man pages (man ppp, pppd) the handbook and the net looking for a good explanation of what I need to do but I'm afraid I'm too stupid to understand most of what I'm reading. I know that the kernel is seeing my modem. Its identified in /var/log/messages I recompiled the kernel and told it to build the module umodem because I have an external usb modem (3com 5606). I've enabled cuaa2 cause in wandows my modem uses com3. I had to tell the kernel to use irq7 because it was one of the only unused irq's in my system. I can send you any other info you need to help me figure this out. Thanks for you patience and help. Abe ===== Jesus saves.
