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
