The credit card modem does not work. It gets probed as zp which I read in Greg's book is an interface, not a device. I had hoped that reinstalling from scratch with the PAO-boot.flp would fix the problem. It said it was configuring the credit card modem, but User PPP can't find it. User ppp needs a device name, and the modem is plugged into an interface. I'm writing from Windows95 for the time being. This will undoubtedly require a kernel re-build. Anyway, I'm waiting for advise from the experts at freebsd-questions. I don't have room for X and emacs seems to want to use an X resourse, so I uninstalled it. I am getting by with pico and uemacs for the time being. Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
