I have just installed FreeBSD 4.0 on one of my older computers (Gateway2000 P5-120), and am actually enjoying the process very much. I am also learning a lot about ISP's and Domains, which brings me to the point of this email. I have acquired a domain name that I like, and now want to use it for internet access, email, etc. However, my current ISp (ATTGLOBAL.NET) requires that I sign up for Premium service to do so, and then they will still add on a PRSERV.NET to the end of my name. By the way, I chose a .org name since it is only for personal use. Is this normal? Have I grepped the situation with the wrong options? Isn't there a way to sign up my domain name and use it for my address? If I am way off base, I would appreciate someone letting me know. Anyway, thanks very much to everyone involved in creating such a great work. I used the BSD PowerPak, and the manual has most everything I need to know about setting up the system, networking, etc. Thanks for listening. If this goes well, I plan to eliminate the windows software off of my current system, and run only unix...and linux too, of course. But I will start with a dual boot, I suspect.
