Hi, I would like to configure and use PPP with FreeBSD on my machine and I understand that FreeBSD has extensive support for this (I have obtained the `setting up user ppp' document from the FreeBSD handbook. I need to know, however, whether or not FreeBSD would support my 14400bps Data/Voice/Fax modem and how to configure FreeBSD to work with the modem if in fact it can. Where would I be able to obtain such information? I am only interested in PPP as a user to dial out to my internet service provider and am not interested in becomming a PPP dial in server. I also have a question concerning software needed to make use of my connection. Will I need to obtain special PPP client software to use such functions as ftp and WWW browsing, or will the usual ftp software and Netscape work if I have PPP configured as explained in the `setting up user PPP' document. Thanks, JM
