He has used windows for the last 5 years and has never used a unix based computer.......so i need to make things as easy and "point and click" as possible. He uses a dial up isp "everyones internet" for internet service and i dont have any idea on how to make this easy as i have always used a cable modem. What should i use? I have heard that ppp is what most use. Whatever solution, I will need it to have a good gui interface so he can jut click connect and disconnect etc... and username : password. Any good suggestions. Also, I cant seem to find the modem showing up in dmesg. The modem is a astec pci - modem,,, here is my dmesg. dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
