FreeBSD is a complete operating system that had its birthing in the BSD (Berkley) UNIX in the wee early days of UNIX. Check on the http://www.freebsd.org/ web site for more information. Second, FreeBSD is a complete OS and as such can talk to modems and nic cards, and most other peripherals. The information is on the FreeBSD web site. FreeBSD is a superior free UNIX. It takes a little extra time to learn, but is worth the effort. Enjoy learning and using FreeBSD. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
