Hi All

I busy experimenting with freebsd 2.1.6 on my home PC in a view to moving our 
servers over on to it from linux. I currently multi-boot win95, 
Linux, and FreeBSD on the same machine.

I used the ppp command to connect to work and this worked fine for a 
few days, now all I get when I dial in is gibberish on the screen. 
I feel that this is possibly related to a handshaking problem.

The modem is a 28.8 internal on set to com2 - com2 on the motherboard as 
been disabled.

Does anyone know what to look for - the same system works fine with 
linux & windows95, and was working fine with freebsd until tonight 
:-(

Problem 2 - X-windows

I've re-compiled the kernal with option XSERVER enabled (the modem 
worked ok with the new kernal) however when I startx the screen goes 
blank and the system crashes - I've also tried /stand/sysinstall and 
selected config XF86 in there but with the same result. Again XFree86 
runs fine under the Linux system. The video card is a 2Mb PCI 
S3Triov+ Any pointers would greartly be appreciated. 

Your help would greatly be appreciated

Regards,
Anthony
