Hi, My question is in reguards to connecting to my isp via modem on my machine running freebsd. At this point, I have no interest in regestering a domain name or becoming a server, I just want to connect to my isp to read mail etc. I can do this on my win 95 partition, but it is cumbersome to reboot etc. if all I want to do is read mail or download a file. I have read many of the FAQ's and chapters in the book that accompanied my cd, but most of it is still alittle to "low level" and I don't have the background to "really " comprehend it. Is there a concise method somewhere on how to set up my modem and machine to dial in to my isp. My equipment is a toshiba laptop w/ a 33.6 pc card fax modem. Also, Another unrelated question: I have been attempting to mount my cdrom w/ the mount command and do not entirely understand all the arguments. I have read the man page but still don't get it. I do not have lots of unix background but am trying. Can anyone tell me how to mount the a volume in the cdrom drive. It is an IDE drive if that is important. Thanks, Chris.
