[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'm running FreeBSD2.2.5, and I have upgraded to Xfree3.3.2. I have a solid BSD system, but I want to change from the poor TWM display manager to one of the better ones such as FVWM2 or 95. I understand I have to alter a config file to do this, but can't find which one, I cannot access the newsgroups as I live overseas and my ISP does not yet provide them. I have searched the FAQ's etc but cannot find the answer. After this I plan to port Netscape from the CD, but I have been informed that my modem is incompatible withBSD. It is a US Robotics sportster win modem 33.3kb. I plan to convert fully to BSD, for all my computing but would like to change a little hardware as possible, so can I utilize this modem? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards , Barry Monk [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.71.1712.3"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi, I'm running FreeBSD2.2.5, and I have upgraded to Xfree3.3.2.
