It was what convinced me at once that FBSD is what I need, after playing with a lot of other "one floppy unixes", that mostly didnt work most of the time. And please, Doug, no shit on the "experts". The ppp installation script of pico sucked badly, no PAP in India ? ;-), but if you know a very little bit of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (which isnt "expert" nut user-knowledge), it would be usable for browsing with lynx and telnetting.
