Im having trouble configuring my PC for dial-out to recieve files via FTP.
after configuring the kernal to my equipment
{only strange configuration is for my SupraFAXMODEM288i which is located on
irq9}
I go on to the *novice installation*
I am installing the OS on its' own hard disk (250Mb Maxtor, which is
recognized ok)
I elect to automatic for partition information
I select FTP installation through the main ftp site through FTP.FREEBSD.ORG
(name forgotten, its the main one, though)
I elect ppp on sio1 configured as: device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty
irq9 vector siointr in the kernal
The system then gets to the dialog where I must switch over to the Terminal
Emulator by pressing Alt-F3, go into the system, type *term*
The system then returns: "Press ~? for help"
I press ~? and a few commands are allowed: help, log up, log down, quit
program, and one or two more.
Ok, this is where I am stuck, what do I need to do to configure the system
to recognize my modem and dialup my ISP? There is not a detailed help area
in the setup area, so Im not really even sure what to do here. Im not quite
a novice with UNIX, DOS, or Windows, but obviously I am having a couple of
troubles here which are probably easily solved.......?
I appreciate your answer in advance.
