Ok, I'll try and answer all three.
1. Do you mean how long before the screen blanks when the machine is not in
use? If so, see vidcontrol.
2. You are correct. You can delete everything in this file and the messages
will go away(that file being kernel.conf). I believe there is an option to
disable the reading of this file also, but right now I can't remember what it
is.
3. Here is a copy of my ppp.conf. I use Earthlink for dialup.
default:
set log Chat Phase Connect
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 115200
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \ OK-AT-OK
ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
allow users ipt
ISP:
set phone 8576020|8430480|8403800
set authname **********
set authkey **********
set timeout 0
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns
Copy and use this as it applies to your ISP. Check
/usr/share/examples/ppp for a skeleton file to use.
