Subject: Just after PPP config
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I configured my FreeBSD box for PPP acsording to the SLIP/PPP section of the
Handbook.

1. When booting - just after the hardware probing - two lines appear that
look like this:
 
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface

The two lines are identical.  What interface is this refering to?  I can not
find such a ifconfig line in my /etc/sysconfig file.

Thank you
Matthew Hagerty

P.S.
Could you recommend a good source of info on how to use my FreeBSD box once
connected to my service provider via PPP.  For example, I can send mail with
no problem to the net, but how can I receive mail?  I have a good many
questions like that and I can't seem to find any answers.  Does ANYONE
know???
