That's not so common around the world... Actually, I'm just being a tease. I've always had high-speed access available to me and have sometimes wanted to be able to brag about having done a modem install. I think the PPP support is a great thing that definately gives FreeBSd an edge. Still, it is slightly silly to download your OS via modem, even if the alternatives may be even sillier. I personally rspect those who perservere through this silliness. :) -danny -- dannyman - http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
