I'museing Eudora Pro,on my 95 machine...its the best one i have found so far... I get strange code aswell,when talkingto a buddy that uses Eudora... itmay have to do with some of the config options in the program... >With regards to your question -- I would personally invest in "Unix >System Administration Essentials" by O'Reilly and Associates >(publisher). Release 2 if possible. It is a really good book that This book was also recomended to me by another person... >Feel free to email me (and presumably questions@freebsd.org) with >questions you have :). Ha...now you've had it :) Ok...this is the next problem... I can't get the ppp term program to work... Originally, i installed the system via.ftp... to do that, I installed a high speed port for my 28.8 modem... after that, I got another modem (USR 14.4) and used the port on the i/o card... When I try and run 'term' it just freezes... I assume that when the system was configured, it found the insert card and used it, now, (even though the new prot should be the same, it is getting confused (??)... Is there a way to reconfigure the ports, without reinstalling the whole thing? BTW- I should tell you know, that the instal disk does not work, when ever I try and boot with it, I get some sort of error, and the machine restarts (I put in another 8megs temperarily, and it worked) Also,sinse I installed via. FTP... it will take another billion hours to get it up again :) SO I don't really want to do it again... Thanks for any help you can offer... ---------------------------- Brillweb Design Toronto, Canada Phone: (416) 466-1712 E-mail: brillp@nation.org ----------------------------
