I tried running pppd on my FreeBSD 2.0 system (under root). It always says "Sorry - PPP is not available on this system". I don't understand why the executable pppd is there if PPP isn't available... I thought FreeBSD 2.0 was "PPP-ready". Where am I going wrong? Also, in some PPP FAQ, it says to put one's "domain name" somewhere in a file called "/etc/ppp/options". What if I don't have a domain name? All my PPP server (at the University) says is my IP address (in numerical form). Can I just omit the "domain" line in /etc/ppp/options? Last question: recently, all the 386bsd newsgroups were deemed obsolete by the News server I use at the U. Where should I look for newsgroups about FreeBSD?
