Now that everything is up and running, I'd like to install FreeBSD on a few more machines via PLIP from the laptop's DOS partition. I have a laplink cable, but I'm not sure how to configure FreeBSD to accept a PLIP connection. I assume I need some changes in /etc/sysconfig but I'm not sure what or if there's anything else I need to do. Can someone help? The parallel port is recognized at boot as... >lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa >lpt0: Interrupt-driven port >lp0: TCP/IP capable interface Also, I have a Megahertz XJ1144 PCMCIA modem which shows up as... >ze: pcmcia slot 0: MEGAHERTZ~XJ1144~A5~PCMCIA MODEM~ >ze: slot 1: no card in slot >ze0 not found at 0x300 >zp: pcmcia slot 0: MEGAHERTZ~XJ1144~A5~PCMCIA MODEM~ >zp: slot 1: no card in slot >zp0 not found at 0x300 It is possible to use this to dial out with? If so, how? Phil Gilley pgilley@metronet.com
