Dear members, I need help from someone who has installed FreeBSD using floppy disk and an ftp connection to freebsd site. I have created the boot floppy disk and been able to load and specify all the information required to setup through an ftp site. My problem is how to dial to my ISP in order to connnect to the ftp site of my choice. The installation program gives me the option to connect to my ISP using an already PPP setup. I use the Alt+F3 keys to switch to the PPP prompt. I then tried the 'dial' and the 'term' command in the PPP program. But there was no message sent to the modem to dial. I think I am using wrong parameters for the 'term' and 'dial' command under the ppp. Could anyone familiar with the first installation through floppy disk and ftp connection via PPP give me some help. Instruction as to how to use the 'term' command or the 'dial' command under PPP will be very helpful. I am using IBM Compatible PC with Netcomm modem (Hayes-compatible).
