No flames, please, I'm horrified enough at the concept. As a fellow newbie, I was also dismayed at this concept. Here's another one I just learned about: On some new low-priced *home* PC's, the video system shares memory with system RAM. So they advertise a 32MB system with a 4MB video card, but you really only have 28MB system memory. How's that for sneaky? >Can anyone reccomend a decent and possibly inexpensive modem choice for PPP >in FBSD 2.2.7? Just looking for some guidance re: model and vendor. All >advice is appreciated. I use a SupraExpress 56e (about $109 @ PC Connection). I figured the absolute best way to avoid any WinModem-type problems is to use an external modem connected to a serial port, and sure enough, it works great! --Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
