First off, posting to freebsd-questions implies that questions are asked, so putting just question marks isn't a good idea. > if i used freebsd with the tcp/ip networking thingy would i have to > have a network(including ethernet card, other hardware etc.) or could the > computer running the OS be a remote individual computer with one modem for > one man connections??? You can run TCP/IP over a couple of network interfaces, be it ethernet, a serial link or a lot of other media. You don't necessarily need to run a local ethernet if you have just one computer. That doesn't make much sense. You can run SLIP or PPP over a serial interface (sio0=com1) through a modem being connected to an ISP. Is it that what you wanted to know? > Thanks, > Nick > *************************************************** > * S P E C I A L * > *************************************************** Took the freedom to cut down .sig a bit. > > --Chris Christoph P.
