Basically, I think it might be me (WHAT AND NOT BE PERFECT?), but I have had help with trying to get this resolved to no avail. I can get all the way to logging into my ISP, back to a "ppp ON mymach>" type of prompt (mymach is not actually the host name I use, just i.e.) but I have not been able to get "PPP ON mymach>" Could it have anything to do with the configuration setup for Hostname, DNS, etc. ? Or is it something else? Any ideas would be appreciated, I do plan to write a small "FreeBSD setup for dummies" type of on-line book after I'm done, so that all will be converted, but I think that actually setting the OS up first may be in order!
