Also, where can I find about the different Internet utilities that show me statistics about my connection and stuff that shows me what is happening with the connection(what's downloading, what's being sent, like a bird's eye of what's going on with my modem, etc.). I also am wondering why some people on IRC think ppp say it is a child's program. I do know about pppd, but just haven't used it yet. :) Although, I am growing alot more in FreeBSD than in Linux, which I am proud to say, because the coding must have been well grounded :) . I'll appreciate any responses to my questions. :) P.S. Btw, is there a non X-Windows www client that supports ActiveX and all those Microsoft and Netscape extension, because I don't want to install X just for Netscape.
