Well, you could try checking the box on the W95 dialup networking dialog that says "Save Password" or something similar -- it comes up when you try to open a connection. But I don't think that this is what you mean. Can you dial in *with* manually entering the password? (I assume this means that you have to go through the FreeBSD login procedure in a terminal window after the dialup connection has been made). You can automate this by writing a W95 login script for your FreeBSD machine. There are some sample scripts that can be adapted easily. Or, if you ask nicely, someone on the list might send you theirs.
