Today, I installed FreeBSD (snap 2-2-95). I can connect other machines in my own LAN via FTP etc. But I want to get a SLIP-connection to my InterNet-provider. I've read the DOC's and it seems I have to use 'slattach'. Slattach needs a communcation program to make the connection, in the examples kermit is used. I have two problems: 1. I can't get kermit. I've got the file ftp.nl.net/pub/os/FreeBSD/02021995-SNAP/tools/kermit, but I don't know what to do with it. It won't execute.. 2. I can't access the modem (serial port COM2). I tried 'echo ata > cuaa1'. But the modem doesn't respond. When I type 'echo ata > com2' in MS-DOS the modem does respond. So I have two questions: * What communcation-software can I use (and where can I get it?) * How can I access the modem (serial port COM2) Thanks
