I am a real newbie to UNIX and wanted to load it on my machine to learn 
more about it.  However I wanted to load XFree and I went through the 
install and it is installed fine.  However I need to be able to make a 
device for my mouse.  When it boots up it finds my mouse on COM2 (sio1). 
I also have a BOCA 28.8 modem that it refuces to recognize.  I would like 
to use it to dial out to my provider for a ppp connection.  Any direct 
help or references to publications that would help are apreciated.

Thank you
