But then again i usually do things like that. The first thing I do is suggest you either change your mail program, or set it's line-wrap to around 70. Your last post was a mess.. I could barely read it, and I'm sure others had the same problem. As for ppp, check out http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html. You'll find a bunch of stuff there like the latest source for ppp (which I suggest you install), updated man pages, faq's, etc. It's a good place to start. Once you do that, if you still have problems, post back here and I'm sure someone will help. To mount the cdrom, you'll need to have a data cd in the drive. You can't mount audio cds. As root, type mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0 /cdrom and then cd to /cdrom.
