I had this prob. Here's bits from how I do it when I dial manually (like you have to do when you do an install). default: set speed 115200 set device /dev/cuaa1 (for com2, /dev/cuaa0 for com1)(but i see you're using com3, you must have this bit worked out or else you wouldn't have got as far as you did) set parity none set timeout 1200 accept pap (if your isp uses chap instead of pap then) disable chap (swap these around ) set authname username set authkey password set ifaddr 0 0 then type term to drop into term mode and dial your number etc. On Tue, 4 Mar 1997, Mike Larsen wrote: > I have downloaded boot.flp twice in the past ten days but in both cases > was unable to install over a PPP / FTP connection.
