I rather fear I've reached the point of no return with FreeBSD. Please understand this isn't a flame in any sense; the problems are probably a reflection of my own ignorance, but after a lot of work and lots of help from users I'm still unable to communicate with my modem, either on my laptop or my desktop. Neither tip nor ppp works for me. I have no problems with either on Linux so it can hardly be a hardware or BIOS problem. I like a lot of things about FreeBSD. notably its political philosophy (quite similar to that of Debian). However, Debian works admirably for me so FreeBSD has been just an experiment. I'm glad to have tried it and it's been an interesting learning experience, but I'm doubtful about persevering. (Perhaps this is just because I've had two bad colds in the past 10 days and am feeling rather low!)
