I just bough a external modem and would like to use it for FreeBSD. I have a extra parallel port, can I hook the modem to it, or should I buy a serial i/o card? How many of the files in the /etc/ppp directory have to be edited to set up ppp. How do you edit the files, make a copy and leave off the sample at the end file and edit the copy? Example: copy ppp.conf.sample to ppp.conf and edit ppp.conf to my specs, leaving the original in tack.
