>Environment:
Unknown. Unable to Install FreeBSD 
>Description:
When I try to install FreeBSD (With current Boot floppies from the 
correct dist.) Everything goes fine,  I connect to my host correctly
I start downloading and uncompressing the distributions, and EXACTLY 
179 seconds after I START the PPP connection, PPP hangs up the modem.
I have set timeout to 600, makes no difference. I have checked integrity
of the floppy, rawrited data again, to no avail. I can install good when
I use win95 to download the files off the internet into a dir on my
harddisk, but it is a pain.
>How-To-Repeat:
Unknown..... Perhaps hardware specific? I have a USR Sportster 33.6\FAX
No network cards. SB CLone, ATAPI CD.  2 IDE Hard Disks, trying to install
on 2nd Hard disk (210mb)
>Fix:
Possible bug in the timeout code? It seems to only be on the install 
floppy. Once I install FreeBSD, PPP works fine......
