Anyways, I was wondering how to set it up to dial my internet access provider and initiate a SLIP connection (or a PPP connection, preferably SLIP for now because I've been using that with OS/2 and windows). I've only installed bindist and manpages, so if I need any other packages, please tell me which ones and I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what files I need to change and how to initiate the connection. I looked at slip.FAQ on ftp.cdrom.com/pub/freebsd, but it didn't seem to work. Thanks in advance. -Justin Seger- BTW-If you could reply by email it woudl be appreciated because my news server scrolls messages off rather quickly.
