I successfully installed FreeBSD 4.1. I must say that so far I'm quite impressed. But I can't fully enjoy my BSD experience due to the fact that I cannot connnected. I followed the instructions in the handbook where you were talking about PPP connections. Though I did what was written (or at least I believe I did), I still cannot get onto the net. So I was wondering if you had a bit of time on your hands (5-7 minutes) to help me. I'll give out my ISP informations and all that, and I'd like it very much if you could tell me what to do. Login: lfoley password: toto phone: 377 8294 IP's: 204.101.179.3 204.101.179.10 domain: rocler.qc.ca It's a PAP connection. I always have a dynamic IP (changes every time I connect). Modem is on COM2 (and it worked under Linux) Could you help me figure where to put these infos? Or could you suggest a software such as pppconfig (Debian PPP tool) that would make connecting (from console) painless? Thank you. I also have a problem with emacs20, I can't use my alt key as my Meta key (in console). Is it a BSD problem or an emacs one? If it's an emacs problem don't waste your time looking for an answer I can find it myself.
