I got some very good information from your replies. However, I think I put the cart before the horse. While I have User PPP up and running with a dial up connection, I haven't been able to get FreeBSD to run PPP over the DSL line. In addition, when using DSL with Win95 (ISP is Bell Atlantic) the dial up dialog contains 111-1111 as the phone number. So here come question #1: Can I assume that 111-1111 is not a phone number (dumb question, I know its not) so just what is it? Why is it there? Must the same be used when connecting a FBSD box? Anyone got a step by step to get DSL up? Thanks again! Gene To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
