I thought it was related to the timeout value in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file but I removed that and it still occurs. Any ideas? Also, how do I configure FBSD's "mail" program? It doesn't know what the proper server/account info is so it doesn't work. Everytime I boot though it says "You have mail." and it keeps showing some message the system sent me over and over again. Thanks a lot in advance! Bart Trzynadlowski To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
