I have made several attempts to install freebsd via ftp. I will try to explain the steps as best I can. I booted from the latest floppy image available on the ftp site and it saw all of my hardware without any problems. (I am impressed!) After configuring both ftp active or passive options I then get to the point where I set up my terminal adapter (Motorla Bitsurfer Pro Ext.) I used the following init stirng. AT&F&C1&D2\Q3%A4=%A2=95@B0=1. This works every time and I am able to start the installation process. When connecting to freebsd.org I am able to see the root image transfer then it starts the extraction phase which will go to the 5% point then it stops. I lose RD and DTE. It goes from a solid RD to dropped connection. I have tried other ftp sites which are slower and they die at about 2-4% through the extacting phase. I have a solid ISDN line and it works fine for hours at a time when on the web or ftp under OS/2. Any help would be appreciated. I will be in Berkley on Fr! iday of this week. Is there a place I can pick up a cd or tape of bsd near or on the campus? Thank You Paul Zasso pzasso@lightspeed.net
