i had the exact same problem (i think). when i dialled my isp and connected as soon as i selected ppp the line would hang up. i ended up installing from diskette (yuk!) the /bin distributions then getting networking going from there. here are some extracts from the sample ppp.conf file (you get this after you install :-) ) if you have a look at some of the commands used you might be able to succeed where i failed. default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr deny pap accept chap set authname MySystemName set authkey OurSecretKey set openmode active --if you're using com2 then it's /dev/cuaa1, otherwise /dev/cuaa0 --speed is self explanatory --i didn't have to disable/deny lqr --find out if your isp supports pap or chap (or both) then deny one and accept the other --i assume you have to log into your isp, authname=username authkey=password -- dunno if you need openmode active either, but i got sick of redialling, trying something and then redialling etc... and left it in, probably does nothing, i'll post this to the list as well, probably someone who knows what they're talking about will correct me if i'm wrong!!! 8-) then type term and atdt or whatever to connect and log in when you have connected and it switches to packet mode watch where it says ppp ON thingo> when it changes to PPP (uppercase) you are in business. hope this is of some help, and answers the question i thought you asked. :) we see so many ppp related questions (mine included) that as soon as i work out a few more things i'm going to write up a few notes and post it to the list for comment so it can be used as a standard answer. andrew perry andrew@shoal.net.au schmoe@ns1.tlk.net wrote: > > Hello All: > I am trying to install FreeBSD and I am trying to install using > anon ftp, dialing up to my ISP.
