Folx, I'm tryingto ftp install FBSD 2.1.6. I got the boot disk going. I got through the h'ware configuration and Novice install just fine. In fact, it goes perfectly until I get to specifying the IP addresses and Gateways and my machine's IP address. I am going to be dialing into my ISP and they will dynamically assign me an address. I have my ISP's server address. What should I put in the 'host' , 'domain' and 'gateway' fields on the Host Configuration page. I'm not aware of any gateways. Does my ISP qualify as a gateway? I think the connection will just go from freeBSD.org -> slip.net -> the machine in front of me. Do I need to enter ftp.freeBSD.org (or it's IP address) in any boxes? I select it as the ftp site in the step before the host configuration page. And once I'm dropped into the PPP shell. I type 'term' and then I can't pass my modem any AT commands. I can't even get back to the packet passing menu. The modem is a USR sportster 14.4. It is connected at DOS com2/ Linux /dev/cua1 and works fine under Linux. I tried going through the other com port selection, but that didn't work either. I know the cable is good. What might be the problem? Is there a document explaining that PPP/term shell you use to dial up an ISP and connect? Any help you could offer would be appreciated more than you know. Almost there, Mark Cleary
