when trying to install via ftp over a modem everything seems to come up but nothing happens.  I can ping the bsd box once the modem link is up, and the routing tables show everything as OK, but it just won't connect to anything, even when I enter in a specific URL to bypass the DNS.  Are there any know problemswith the ftp install over a PPP link?  BTW, I am connecting to a portmaster.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Ochs
