Replace your modem. :( Winmodems only work under Windows. > And is there any big differences between Linux and FreeBsd. Yes. Search the mail archives for "FreeBSD vs. Linux", or check out Matthew Fuller's page on the topic (I don't know the URL, try searching for it using Altavista). > Problem 2 : This is Turkey, and you can't find operating systems such as > Linux or FreeBsd.How can i found FreeBsd.And by what they can send it to > Turkey.I need FreeBsd in 2 weeks. If you have access to the internet, you can download it from ftp://freebsd.cdrom.com. Or you can order it for about $40 US from Walnut Creek CD-ROM, http://www.cdrom.com. > I can change my modem if there is no way.If i change it how can i > coonect internet with FreeBsd.Is it easy?And i am using PPP..

There's a Netscape for BSD, I'm not sure about Internet Explorer though. There's also Mosaic, lynx, and several others. For email, you can use pine, elm, mutt, any of the full-featured web browsers, emacs, or even plain old /usr/bin/mail. > Thanx very much to all of you... :) You're welcome. > Okan Asik okana@superonline.com > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
