I am a networking/unix programmer working with two system: one BSDI, one SunOS. I have LINUX at home, and I was thinking of changing over to BSD, simply because I am more familiar with it. Now here's my problem: is PPP/SLIP any easier to configure with FreeBSD than LINUX? I have had a hell of a lot of trouble getting it to work under LINUX (shameful, with the cool job title I have ;) and I desperately want to establish a SLIP network link to my workplace, so I can do FTP, X, etc from home. Changing over to FreeBSD would be a major pain in the OS, so if anyone who has had a great deal of success with DIP/SLIP/PPP connections under FreeBSD would be willing to instruct me as to how to set it up, I would gladly change systems. I have no loyalties. I will always take the easier path. ;) Thanks, Robert Mobbs monk@cyberspace.com
