In the past, I have been quite accustomed to using ppp for Internet access, but I have never succeded in setting up ppp over serial for installing FreeBSD. And as years go by, with broadband access, my knowledge of serial / ppp setups fades away... :-) > This isn't listed in the cbb(4) supported devices.

I see that the PD6729 is listed in the pcic(4) man page, so I was hoping that there were just some tweaking needed. One thing I know (from running =A4.x on the machine) is that it needs irq 11 for the pc card controller to work. Anyway, if anyone is game for it, I will do all the testing required. --=20 Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
