Internet, man ppp, look for a ppp.conf file and change it a little bit for your needs. It used to sit in /etc/ppp, thats the place where it must be anyway, to find the file: find / -name "ppp.conf*" Lan things are very readable explained in the "Pedantic PPP Primer", www.freebsd.org..... > If any of you know of any good and clear resources about FreeBSD please > let me know. I already tried freebsd.org and some others sites. Thanks. There is a book, Greg Lehey, "The complete FreeBSD". fetchmail and pine, from the package collection, to be installed with pkg_add <filename>, was a start for me, you will want to have sendmail, see the FAQ about sendmail and dynamic IP. Ah, I dont know if you need PPP or are allready connected..... You need the kernel sources for your audio, see the handbook. Hope it helps.
