I decided to try out FreeBSD 3.4 because I am tired of Micro$oft's crappy OS's, and would like a sterdy OS to develope my networking and development techniques. I have now idea however how to use the ports that I installed on my notebook. There is a makefile file, but how do I use it? I tried to use the console(dos like thing), but either I am doing it wrong, the makefile doesn't work, or that's not how to use it. Could you please help me out? Is there a good web site on Unix commands? I also have problems using a PCMCIA modem. I use KDE, I looked on the setup utility and it found my modem, but when I try to use the dial-up thing, it hangs when I try to communicate with the modem. I have an old ZOOM PCMCIA 14.4C modem. The notebook is a Sony Vaio F270. I was told that The modem that is built in will not work with BSD, Linux, BeOS, or any non-Microsoft product. Please help!
