Two questions: 1. How do you start the system single-user, from the boot prompt? In Linux, you could give a commnad (using LILO boot loader) like: <kernel_name> single that would get you into single-user mode. Is there a FreeBSD equivalent? I couldn't seem to find any documentation on this. 2. Is there a program that can display the status of your modem (the most essential ones are: OH - if the modem is off-hook (i.e. dialed out) or not, RD - data being received, TR - data being sent)? I have a internal modem, and this would be a useful thing; it's probably also useful for the laptop/PCMCIA crowd. Thanks!
