I did a minimal install off of floppies using the bootp.flp and the /bin distribution. My question now: I'm trying to set up user PPP so that I can download the rest of the distribution straight to my FreeBSD box. It seems, though, that FreeBSD is having a problem dialing my modem. I have a 2400 baud modem which came integrated on the motherboard (COM1), and a 14.4K internal modem (ZOOM, COM4). When I set the modem to /dev/cuaa3, ppp could not open the modem. When I set the modem to /dev/cuaa0, ppp dials the modem, but fails. Anybody have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Matt Blair e-mail: Matthew_Blair@jhuapl.edu
