Hello, I have downloaded and used, rawrite.exe and boot.flp from cdrom.com under FreeBSD, packages, floppies The problem I am encountering is that when it comes to the part about the PPP dialer, nothing happens, the modem doesn't work. I even went downtown here in Toronto, Canada to where my servers are and tried to get your programs to work on a server we have ready for BSD. I am (downtown) connected to the Internet via Ethernet, but because our system is Windows NT, we had the sever I now intend to use for BSD removed from the domain. That probably is why I could not get your program to connect to the net, at least via Ethernet. Maybe you know a way in which I can get this to work from both home (via ppp connection) and from our servers downtown. Our company is called CyberTouch Communicatations Inc, we are Full Internet Service Providers located as stated up above in Toronto, Canada. It is my understanding that FreeBSD is made for use by Internet Service Providers. I have had many people who wanted to join our service but wouldn't because I couldn't provide them with a shell account. I am the general manager and unfortunately, lack the intense knowledge one should know to run a business like this. I hope to have FreeBSD up (I ordered the CDROMS from Walnut Creek anyway) and running and hope to be able to implement this as our full operating system. If someone who reads this can help me out, I will be most oblidged to him/her. It must sound dumb, but I can't figure out what I am missing to get your program to ask for a telephone number in order to dial out, instead when I hit the "f3" key and type "term" and then "dial" the message I get is "login o.k" and the rest, as if I was connected to our servers downtown. Meanwhile the modem hasn't dialed anywhere and I can't continue. Hope to get a reply,, thanks for reading this and if I can get it going and working well, I would not object to being mirror for you as we are connected by ethernet to a T-3 upstairs Again, thanks for your help and understanding from a non-computer educated person.
