Hello,
I just installed freebsd v2.1 OS on my PC at home. Its a Pentium
120Mhz from Micron Electronics. I am running Boot Manager and
Windows95, OS2 and now FreeBSD in 3 different partitions on my hard
drive 1.275 M Conner Peripherals drive. I would like to dialout to
my Internet Service Provider from home via modem using a PPP connection.
I do not know what files need to be edited and what needs to
be done for FreeBSD to recognize my 28.8 US robotics Sportster Internal
Modem. And how do i dialout (commands? etc) . Do i have to
recompile the kernel? or since i now have it installed how do i get it
to dial out to my ISP. Where do you give it the modem speed and the
phone number and other parameters so that with some commands (what
commands?) issued from the shell prompt I can set up a PPP
connection to my ISP and get on to WWW from freebsd. I have installed
Xwindows on my box. And I think I have the PPP part taken
care of though not sure if i have things done right to configure PPP.
I will greatly appreciate if you could give me a step by step run down
on configuring PPP and everything needed to be done for freebsd
to recognize my modem and to be able to dialout from my PC to outside
internet connnections. I am assuming that only then will i able to
do telnet, ftp, gopher etc.??? I am a novice at all this and would
like some help in this regard. Thanx in advance.
Please send mail with detailed instructions to
