My first question is with the ppp. This is my ppp so I do not have an ip address I assume I can use 127.0.0.0 as my local machine. Using /stand/sysinstall I did set the phone number. But, I how do I set my login and password for my isp. Also the initail install starts ppp for you, how do I start it. Typing ppp did seem to work. Lastly, during the intail install I type the dial command during the ppp session and my modem lite up but never dialed and then I got a connection lost message. Any hints and tips on ppp would be greatly apprieciated, booting into linux and downloading stuff the rebooting to freebsd is something of a pain. Thanks Rod...
