Windows 95 and IE comes with various setup wizards to simplify the configuration of PPP, but the PPP is seperate from Internet Explorer. With that said, please refer to the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook173.html#404 for instructions on setting up ppp for FreeBSD. You have your choice of ijppp (userland), or pppd (kernel). I prefer pppd because it simplifies the process of maintaining an almost-dedicated connection. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Verhaalen <rvh@execpc.com> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Wednesday, October 01, 1997 3:10 PM Subject: dial-up internet access >I recently installed FreeBSD on my home PC.
