Hi, and welcome to the club - There is a lot to do, and most of it will be specific to your hardware and what you want to do with it, and what your ISP will give you on the other end of your phone line. I *HIGHLY* recommend that you buy a copy of Greg Lehey's 'The Complete FreeBSD' book from Walnut Creek CDROM, http://www.cdrom.com. Greg goes into exhaustive detail on all of these subjects and many more you don't even know about yet :) If you have an internet connection, spend time reading the online Handbook and tutorials; while they're never perfect or complete, they do give you lots of necessary info. One thing I've discovered is that Unix Books Are Your Friends. Just use the configurations they talk about for Berkely Unix (BSD) configurations. Unfortunately, neither modems or sound cards are something UN*X writers have ever cared about, until Greg started writing all this stuff down. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
