Which file? /dev/cuaa0. To create this; cd /dev rm -fr cuaa0 sh ./MAKEDEV cuaa0 > BTW, do I need to build ppp into the kernel?

No. ``ppp'' uses the `tun' device (built into the generic kernel) and ``pppd'' uses the `ppp' device (not built into the generic kernel). > Also are there any instructions written for the average home machine > without any incoming telnet, ftp, blah..., firewalls, Get the latest version of ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ppp.html and have a look at the man page. There are step-by-step instructions on setting up ppp for your ISP. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
