Can anyone imagine how difficult it is to change ISP? - I mean it is difficult if you use windows and something goes wrong. I just changed my isp, and this is also a test, i want to see how my things work (I didn't change my mail settings yet, so everything should be just like it was, i think) . Anyway I used three (3) evenings when I tried to connect the registration (?) server from winNT, (i got an installation cd for windows from my new isp) and then i couldn't stand it anymore. I changed to fbsd, connected manually to the server and it was another five minutes and registration was completed. I spend six more minutes to change the phonenumber and the chat script from /etc/ppp.conf , and now my new connection works. (from fbsd , I think I won't even set it up to windows) now i still got to make my mail go thru my new isp, but it was just about 15 minutes to make all important to work in freebsd. i think windows is just fine when it works. if it ever works. i don't know. haven't seen. hope someday i will. since that I'm glad i got fbsd. I don't know how my addresses show up, but at least <juksi@iname.com> should work.
