I'm 8 months into Unix(s) and I have 3 machines here under my desk. One swindles95, one Red Hat 5.0, and BSD 2.2.6. The first two enabled me to login to my ISP Netcom, that has dynamic IP, login name, password etc. Both provided entries for primary and secondary DNS numbers and phone numbers too. I search the mail archives last night with the keyword PAP and looked at 150+ entries and got roughly 10 possible solutions. I have tried a few, word for word and haven't gotten any where. That's why I'm posting this with my RH box. I'm dying to spread the word about the Unix alternative but the first thing "anyone" coming over from "you know who" type systems need to log on. (QUESTION) Is there a simple way for a proud new Unix user to get BSD to log in? Can a person somehow use the "Network Configurator" of Red Hat 4.2/5.0 to setup BSD 2.2.6 ? If not, is someone working on it ? I hope for help. I'm dying to convert my Microsoft friends who are watching my endeavors CLOSELY. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco CA 94121 http://www.netcom.com/~wiliweld To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
