hi...I was SO happy when I fund this small BSD version, 'cause I was =
looking around an unix-based OS to try apart windows.. but I cannot =
connect to the internet with this little BSD version..=20
I make the connection thru a modem device, and I download the modem =
version of pico; I follow exaclty all of the instuctions to configure =
the ppp stuff (with the dialup script) but when I finish and try to =
connect, I only get an error message like this:
// usr interfase=3Dtun0
child failed. //=20
I thought bsd wasn't recognizing my modem (docked at com3 -- 2 on bsd), =
so I swap the port number (0,1and 2) but but the result were always the =
same.
The only difference I saw is, when I set it in #2 -the 'right one'- it =
takes a few seconds to return the error message (don't know if in that =
time the system is 'searching' the modem), and when I set the number to =
another port, the error message is instantaneously.
Do you have any idea what's going on? -my modem is NOT a winmodem.
Can anybody teach me how to 'search the modem by my own' in BSD and tell =
the system: 'hey, you! here is the modem..' or something like that?
please, help me!! I really want to use this OS ..and adopt it as my main =
system =20
thanks in advance...
Jp.
