I keep posting and being ignored. I don't need hand-holding here, I just need to be pointed to books, manual pages, FAQs, or at least told what files I need to play with! I've asked this twice and gotten no response. I asked about a different problem once before and got one response (THANK YOU! - I installed the patch and it no longer crashes my system :) So, if you are thinking someone else will respond, you are very posssibly wrong, and I need to get this implemented soon. My current project is to, as the only person with ANY UNIX experience at all, set up a FreeBSD 2.0R machine (done) with PPP support so that my boss and I can call in from home with Trumpet Winsock running PPP. I followed the PPP FAQ that appears on the WWW page. The modem will autoanswer, but nothing happens. Is it working, and I just don't know how to start it, or did I miss something else. I looked at the SLIP Server FAQ - it assumed that I know how to set up a modem for dial-in access, but I don't, and can't find any documentation on how to do it. Where do I look? I have a feeling from reading newsgroups that I'm missing a whole stash of them. The unfortunate thing is that it looks like many of them are in the source distribution. Unfortunately, I'm running with a very small hard drive and barely had the resources to recompile the kernel for PPP. Thanks to anyone willing to take a minute and respond! Please either send me email or post followup to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. Thank you!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marcus I.
