To Whom it may Concern:

The other day I installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a machine from CD.  The 
installation went very smoothly, as well ass the setup of X and 
everything else.

The only problem we have yet to solve is how to establish a PPP 
connection.  I've printed all the pages in the FAQ and handbook 
pertaining to the subject, but I still can't seem to get it to work.

I'm unsure of the exact modem it is (I can find out if you need it) but I 
know that it is a Modem/Sound Card combonation.  In windows95 it runs on 
COM3 and COM4.

In freebsd i know that the corresponding ports for COM3 and 4 is 
/dev/cuaa2 and /dev/cuaa3 but for somer reason the script won't work with 
either.  When I try to run the script it says "/dev/cuaa2 not configured" 
and "/dev/cuaa3 not configured" In fact it does that with cuaa1 - cuaa4 
for some odd reason cuaa0 will let the script run, but the modem doesn't 
dial or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Ps- Using XFree86 and the Mac64 server how do I start X in 16bpp?  It 
always boots in 8 bpp.
