what do I type at the place for "default: # or name_of_service_provider" in my ppp.conf file. and also what do I type for the "set ifaddr" field in the ppp.conf file. and where do I type the IP address for my ISP provider or the DNS for my ISP provider or the telephone number for my ISP. There has to be a place where I need to type all this information or else how is the xDSL modem is going to contact or connect with my ISP. Any help will be helpful. thanks, Singh. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Banning <david@skytracker.ca> To: Sukhbinder Singh <sukhbinders@hotmail.com> Cc: David Banning <david@skytracker.ca>; <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2003 3:17 PM Subject: Re: FreeBSD Port/Distribution Installation > On Sat, Apr 05, 2003 at 02:42:47PM +0800, Sukhbinder Singh wrote: > > I am using a fast ethernet network card with an external xDSL modem. > > In that case you should be well on your way.
