I'm having difficulties with the ppp communications you need to use to
download FreeBSD (through ftp). I get to the black background of the
user process ppp and the ppp ON portal >  prompt. At this point I have
no idea of what to do next. Could someone give me further instructions

 Thanks                           bob olbrich  rjob@gulftel.com
