Any other advice will be GREATLY appriciated. You mean you want to use the serial cable to set up a slip link between your FreeBSD box and your Mac? Well, then take a look at the man page of "sliplogin", that is what you need, I think (I'm not really an expert on the server side of slip...sorry). By the way, slip support is already included in the base system, that's why you didn't find a package! (Try "man -k slip" next time you run into a similar problem.) Satoshi
