I'm trying to use the FTP/PPP install option for the installer on the boot floppy to install FreeBSD 2.2.1. My ISP (my university) uses PAP authentication, but it's not as simple as dialing up and entering my username and password at a prompt. This beastie tries to autodetect ppp when it is dialed up. I don't know how to make this work with the simple ppp activation system provided with the boot disk. I've tried: -setting my authname and authkey -'enable pap' -used term to dial up and attempt to connect-but i'm stumped at autoconnect prompt Any help at all? I'll check back here or email at rmarqui@bgnet.bgsu.edu Thanks anyone who can help! -ryan marquis bgsu
