Hi everyone,

I'm still pretty new to FreeBSD, but am always willing to learn.  In my
area the only way to get a "residential price" on ASDL is to get a USB
modem when you sign up for the service!!!  Although I could possibly find
another way around this equipment issue, I thought I might take a stab at
getting this device to work with FreeBSD.  My research so far has revealed
that I might be able to plug this device in and then use the command
"usbdevs" to obtain some information about the device.  Use that to set up
an entry in "/etc/usbd.conf" that starts PPP configured to start a PPPoE
session.  Is that a fair start?  Can any one provide some additional hints?
 I'd gladly report my results, if I succeed of course.  Thanks in advance.

Dan Auman
