Hi all, I wanted to install FreeBSD through a ppp connection via my
service provider.  I started to install FreeBSD and when it asked me to
use ALT-F3 and then ALT-F1 to return to then press return.  Once at the
ppp prompt what do i do.  I have tried several different things to no
aid.  I would appreciate any help.

FreeBSD version is 2.1.6-RELEASE
Modem is on 02F8 IRQ 3

thanx in advance.
