The kernel that's installed does support PPP, but it uses the tun device; this is used for "user-mode" PPP, /usr/sbin/ppp, which is easier to set up and debug and is the recommended PPP program for dialling out. The ppp device is required by "kernel-mode" PPP, /usr/sbin/pppd, which is the recommended PPP program if you want people to be able to dial in to your machine. It's not enabled by default, as the other version is more useful for what most people want and is more suited to what's required during the installation. > so i started looking around for sys.tar.gz to recompile to get ppp. > > I can't find that sys.tar.gz..is there a kernel with ppp enabled around? > is there a sys.tar.gz around to ftp?? or do i need to get all the files?? Grab the ssys.* files from dists/src - they're a split tarball of the kernel source (just do 'cat ssys.*' to reassemble the tarball). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
