Hope the modem isn't one of those winmodem disasters ... I dunno about pcmcia ones but most if not all regular PCI ones seem to be. There's only one way to get ppp working as far as I'm concerned .... use the ppp_script.sh file. I found it originally at ftp://flag.blackened.net somewhere, but if you can't find it there you can either get it from my FreeBSD Tutorial site (look in the ppp section) http://www.apana.org.au/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_Tutorial or send me another private email & I'll send it when I'm at home (at girlfriends place right now) ----- Original Message ----- From: chat room <chat@soon.com> To: <newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2000 4:57 PM Subject: Distress using FreeBSD on Notebook > After spending about a month downloading/reading/configurating > my system, about 6 hours a day.
