Try installing ppp, Linux versus FreeBSD ... jeeze what a difference! If you have problems in usermode ppp on FreeBSD, go into the term, do it manually, it *always* works, and take the bugs out of your scripts *after* you're online. Heck, Linux doesn't even *have* usermode ppp ... anyone that can prove me wrong on that is extremely welcome to tell me I'm wrong, I can't find it. Linux's ppp is kernel mode, only. Partitioning, that's another joy ... no, I won't go on here. ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@mat.net | communications topic, C programming, Unix and 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | carpentry.
