I believe it has all the answers to your questions. [snip] >Question > >1) Does it mean I have to have some kind of permaent line to be >running natd? No, you could startup natd with the -dynamic switch. It will then watch the natd_interface for changing ip address. It's explained in the above URL. >2) Can I use my existing dial up account? Probably without any problems :-) >3) If so have do I have to do exactly to detect my internal netcom >33.6 modem? This depends on the type of modem. Mostly all newer internal modems are Winmodems which will not work with FBSD, that's why they are called WINmodems. If you don't have a *real old* ISA modem chances are 90% it's probably a Winmodem. Recently i have tried to buy a *new* internal *non* Winmodem to no prevail. You simply can't get them anymore, or at least not at the computer store around the corner. If the modem however works well with Linux, you should get it to work with FBSD. Good Luck! --ago ---------------------------------- Andre Goeree E-Mail: abgoeree@uwnet.nl ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
