The 4.2 CD is not working, and locks up in the middle of an install. I went back to 3.2 and it works great. I want to upgrade, but I don't know how to get the modem to work. I have a choice of COM5 and my modem is on COM2. No matter where I put it it is ALWAYS on COM2. Next, if I can figure out how to tell BSD 3.2 to find my US Robotics 56k modem. Then I need to know what tools ar availible to upgrade to 4.3 maybe even an unstable version if I am feeling ballsy. If ANYONE can answer my two questons, I would happily send some Witchblade comics and/or Mountain Dew. I am at wits end, if someone could recommend an IRC server and channel for help with FreeBSD, I would appriciate that as well.
