Grant, The first thing you need to do is check to make sure your nic is supported in the kernel. use dmesg and scan through it to see if it picks up your card. if not check /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT to see if you can find support for it. then recompile to add your nic.( Check handbook for details). When you have a working card, then try dhcp of that interface through /stand/sysinstall. If your sure you need ppp on dsl then you need something like pppoe ( ckeck LINT for details). I can't help you with that, as I've never done it. I don't think ppp over a dsl or cable connection is a good thing. If you have any more questions send the details ( type of card, chipset, etc.) and I will be happy to help.
