They are dialing in to my system from modems (what else, right?), attached to my digiboard, connecting via pppd, with a ttys entry line: ttyD00 "/usr/sbin/pppd -detach 11520" unknown on secure Not sure what they were talking about, I installed netscape 3.0 PE on a win95 box. When I click on the icon, the dialer pops up. After filling out the login/password, it dial in without a hitch. I can send and receive mail (this message being proof of that) with no problems. But I cannot browse the internet. If I enter "http://www.freebsd.org" in the browser, it sits there thinking for a minute or two, then times out. I can, however, enter "telnet://adonai.net" (which is my server I am dialed in to), get a telnet window and *ping* www.freebsd.org without any problems. So... What am I missing? What magical switch do I have to throw so netscape can see outside name service? Thanks muchly... Lee
