Date: Mon, 08 Jul 1996 23:55:55 +0900 Organization: Global OnLine Japan Lines: 17 Message-ID: <31E1217B.3489@gol.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: yok1-59.gol.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) Hi, I have tried to use ppp on FreeBSD for a long time. Finally, I read a post in the newsgroup who wrote down his scripts for /etc/ppp/ppp.conf , /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and /etc/resolv.conf. Somehow, it works, at least it seems that I can dial OK and login OK. However, , I don't know what to do next so that I can open xwindow, or do something else. I mean, I "ppp" first, and then, the prompt changed to be "PPP on ilin>"(I define my machine has the name ilin), then,I "dial host", and few seconds alter, it said "login OK!". So, it seems work, right? but then, under that prompt, what should I do next?? I have tried "help", b ut I still can't do anything like "telnet"... I even can't see my home directory in my ISP(at least, it seems that I am not in my home directory.) Could anyone tell me what I should do next? Thanks. I-Lin Wang ilin@gol.com
