[-- Attachment #1 --] TO Free BSD, I installed Free BSD on my Pacard Bell Platinum 2220 MMX computer and have been able to configure and use the operatiing system but I have not been able to break out of my isolation, apparently because FreeBSD wont talk to the Sound III336 modem that came with the machine. I have experience with early versions of UNIX (dating from the SUN II work-station using 4MEG of ram in 1987) but this is my first attempt at running BSD on a home PC. Since I have other projects pending I am about to free up my 2.1G D disk and let Windows 95 take it over. I guess I'll continue to work under Bill's donimance until I can extract some $ out of the home budget for a FreeBSD compatible modem ---unless someone out there has an idea of what I may be doing wrong/not doing right etc. It was a nice start at having a professional environment to work with from home but I guess I'll have to stick with the shrink-wrapped stuff for the time being. Nice system! Congratulations! -Fred Irani [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.71.1008.3"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2> TO Free BSD,</FONT></P> <P>I installed Free BSD on my Pacard Bell Platinum 2220 MMX computer and have been able to configure and use the operatiing system but I have not been able to <FONT>break out of my isolation, apparently because FreeBSD wont talk to the</FONT></P> <P><FONT></FONT><FONT><FONT>Sound III336 modem that came with the machine.
