I purchased my FreeBSD CDs last week and I am happy to say, I am starting to make some progress in the brand new world of Unix (brand new to me that is). However I would like to be able to dialup my IP, connect via PPP and then use IRC, FTP and TINTIN directly from my FreeBSD. The only part I am missing here is the dialup part.. I was looking through my ports and I came across DIP.. I did the MAKE INSTALL and it looks like it installed correctly, however I can not figure out how to start it up. I tried "dip" and "DIP".. just keeps telling me it doesnt exist. First off... is DIP the program I even want to use for my dialup? Second... where does it put itself so that I can add it to my path? Any help here is much appreciated. Thanx, Cliff P.S. One other quick question.. whenever I MAKE INSTALL a port.. after it is done, it always comes back and says something like "is already installed", it looks like it is trying to do it 2x.. any idea why?
