I have a problem with my system at home, it is a pentium pro 200 dual
processor motherboard ( Tyan 1662) with single cpu, Matrox Millenium 4MB
WD 2.1 HDD PS/2 mouse and Sound blaster awe 32 pnp sound card, Intel
ether express 16 network card.
Here are my problems if someone can help..
FreeBSD 2.2.2
1. There was no listing for my network card on the installation setup
so i chose intel ether express pro/100 and naturally it dont work.
IRQ 5 i/o 320. should this driver work or do i have to remove the
sound card since it tries to sit at irq5 initially.
2. is there any support for the Sound blaster awe 32 PNP card.
I would like to use the sound capabilities from it.
3. My modem is always flashing "fax" and when i tried to use the terminal to
dial out it tries to connect as a fax. I have to do a "ATZ" to bring it
back to normal only to have it go back into fax mode later on.
it may be initializing it somehow into fax in some config file somewhere.
I am completely new to unix and FreeBSD for that matter and am overwelmed
by the amount of configuration files that have to be edited.
4. I dont know how to set up my system in order to do this: dial internet
provider , login ,get dynamic ip address and be able to use things like
Netscape, Mosaic, Mail etc.
Can anyone give me a complete list of things I need to do to do this
I am coming from a WIN NT OS and really like FreeBSD's X-window sys.
I was able to do a cu and connect to my provider but am trying
to figure out how to make it interface with ppp.
I am real lost on this so any info would help.....Thanks
George
