I have FreeBSD 2.0.5 (BSD lite 4.4) CDROM kit.
I have a machine (486 ) with the basic components & cdrom,modems...
I have installed this package 47-times and now know how to get the modem to answer and run
terminal sessions.
What I need is clear and concise instructions on what I need to set up and how to do it.
What software do I need (or configurations ) do I need to allow me or another person to log
into the system with their Internet package (TCPman,Winsock or whatever).
I have made the Ethernet portion work also across my network for telnet sessions just fine.
All that I have managed to do is waste time fooling with this cryptic nonsense.
Since FreeBSD has no real manuals and little decipherable online help I am really stuck. I have
burned 30+hours looking all over the Internet for helpful information and have printed over
1000 pages of useless information with samples that don't work.
Someone please tell me what files that I need and show me real working examples of what I need
to configure so that I can get some rest please????
What I dont need is yet another person quoting to me to go out and buy more books which are
about as useful as the works that I have already collected. There has to be an easier way to
set up a small basic WWW server....
