Ellison) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD on Toshiba T4800CT Date: 19 Jan 1995 06:31:34 GMT Organization: Quantum Networking Solutions, Inc. Lines: 20 Message-ID: <3fl106$8mk@cello.qnet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: cello.qnet.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am having a difficult learning curve and I hope someone can point me int the right direction. I have FreeBSD installed and running on my Toshiba T4800CT and am trying to setup and configuration pppd on my system. The problem I think I am having is I am unable to talk to my PCMCIA Megahetz modem. Maybe I can nt figure out which /dev to use or maybe I have something configuraed wrong. Another thing that seems strange is there is no /etc/inittab file. Now I do not have a clue what that does anyways but if it is important how do I create it. The other thing is when I try to run pppd is says "Sorry PPP now available".... I assume this is because I haven't completed the /usr/share/FAQ/PPP.doc stuff yet (mainly because I can not talk to the modem). Once I get thisworking I plan to reconfigure my desktop (dos/os2/freebsd) but I don't wnat to do this until I get ppp working on the notebook. I do not want to trash my configration for os/2 internet connection (ppp). Thanks for any help... Duane
