Never mind, I have figured it out: My ISP's secretary gave me the wrong DNS
number.

>Hello,

>I am trying to install FreeBSD from your ftp site using ppp. After I
connect to my isp with ppp and network connection is established, I press
Alt-F1, then enter.
>
>My screen turns blue, with a large cursor at the left of the bottom line,
and it just sits there. No data is trasmitted over the modem (the lights do
not flash).
>
>After a few minutes I press ctl-alt-del, and it asks me whether I really
want to abort. If I say no, it just keeps sitting there. I finally said
yes, since I obviously do not know what else to do.

>Please advise,
