Two things...
First the screen (in ppp terminal mode) seems one character behind
the responses from the process (local or remote) don't show up
untill after I type the next character (which itself doesn't
show up untill after the second character etc)
This is bothersome since the prompts don't show-up untill
after I start typing the response...it's a very simple
standard login so this is surmountable.
Second the connection won't stay up. I get assigned my IP address
packets start coming and going. I switch back to tty1 hit OK
and I sais it can't resolve ftp.freebsd.org. I switch back to
tty3 and the connection is down. I've tried specifying both
my primary and secondary DNS servers as "Domain Name Server"
for "Gateway" I've tried both blank and 127.0.0.1 (this is a
home computer with dynamic IP dial-up)
