I am currently using a combination of both Windows NT and FreeBSD, which I purcahsed a couple of weeks ago in hopes of getting rid of all Microsoft software all together. It's working well so far, and I am almost ready to re-install my system using only FreeBSD. Before I can do that, however, I need to find out how on earth I can connect my PC to my ISP so that I can surf the net and check my e-mail (these two functions are the only use that I currently have for Windows NT). My modem is configured, and using the ppp command and then typing dial ISP I can get a dial tone, but I can't get my modem to dial. Here's a copy of my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file: default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 28800 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATDT%s\r OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" ISP: set phone ..... set login ..... set timeout ..... set ifaddr ..... add ..... I know my ISP's primary and secondary IP addresses, the domain name server, etc. I have Netscape 4.04 Communicator setup, and I am otherwise ready to go (and I have long been ready to get rid of Windows!!!). My only problem is dialing and connecting to my ISP. I have used Lehey's book to get this far, but now I am stuck. Any tips, code, or advice you could give me in helping me connect would be greatly appreciated.
