Hello All,
after months of learning to live with a *really really* slow connection to
the net I finally joined the 21st century with a Dsl connection. Having read
up on how to connect my machine to the net I got the kernel re-config'd and
went about altering the PPP.Conf and rc.conf file  ( see below for
details ). When I tried to connect it gave me all the encouraging signs but
it would not actually connect it Hangs when I get the message "Starting PPP
as "root" " or words to this effect ( trying for kernel PPP on FreeBSD
4.2R ).

Two concerns. One, is running this service as root a good idea security wise
? Two, why does the machine not connect ? I followed the instructions to the
letter.  For what it is worth I am trying to connect to ATT Worldnet
service - if that makes any difference.

Any help is much appreciated.
