While we can't give you answers, we can point you to where you could find them by yourself. > I am trying to set up a Dial-Up Connection to my ISP using FreeBSD (Sorry, your lines didn't wrap and disappeared right off my screen) Have you found all of the manuals and guides and tutorials for ppp yet? If you haven't, you're making it really hard for yourself :-) Your best idea is to go to http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html where you can find links to everything to do with ppp that you could want. Closer to home, try typing 'man ppp'. It's not at all like other man pages, you'll be pleasantly surprised. This man page goes step by step through everything you have to do. There's also a tutorial on the FreeBSD web site, but this too can be found by following the links from the ppp page mentioned above. For more information on getting help in general, and before writing to freebsd-questions, look at our "First Aid Kit" http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/ Also before you write to freebsd-questions, you might like to configure your mailer a bit more. Apart from the lines not wrapping, the date isn't right. Either of these things could cause your plea for help to be missed by someone who would otherwise have been very helpful. I hope you find some of this info useful. Let us know if you have any adventures to report :-) We've all been through the ppp puzzle, though some of us (here I avoid the mirror) only have a dim memory of it and still run ours with fingers firmly crossed. At least now we have a one stop shop for all of the documentation and tips. Oops, I see you also sent this to freebsd-questions. You'll get a different type of answer there. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
