I think you might have left out some important information we could use to better help you. Are you talking about the ISP Juno? (Do they still exist?) Are you in the US? Are you asking about how to connect to your ISP via a dial-up connection? I think most of us are using DSL or cable broadband, so people may not be making the same assumptions about what "connect to the Internet" as what you expect. What is a "take-off" copy of FreeBSD? Do you perhaps mean a LiveCD -- a CD on which a bootable install of FreeBSD exists, so you can boot into FreeBSD on the CD, but then take out the CD and reboot into whatever OS is installed on the computer's hard drive? I'm making some wild guesses here, because I really don't know what you're asking. Please help us clarify your needs so we can help you satisfy them. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --eheScQNz3K90DVRs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkq5OxgACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKX9YgCfVvkjZIgJslr0Hh77s5tSaLuc mSYAoNmTyxz0NLPTwt3SWCBO92iorTp2 =pKvI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eheScQNz3K90DVRs--
