Lines: 27 Message-ID: <491stq$967@norm.uoknor.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp26.modems.uoknor.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.6 Well, that says it all. Trying to set up FreeBSD 2.1.0 for the first time on my machine. Unfortunately I need to use a PPP connection (I have ALL Thanksgiving break to do this :^). On bootup from the boot.flp floppy I see a message finding COM1 @ x3f8, but says it can't find COM2 @ x2f8. So naturally I only have the option to use ucaa0 for a serial connection. I tried changing to ucaa1 in the mini PPP program that comes with the install, but to no avail. I've got a Mouse on COM1 and a Gateway Telepath 14.4 modem on COM2. The controller card is the PCI/EIDE one that's built into my Acer AP5C pentium motherboard running a P5-90. Any ideas? In the past I've been able to connect to my PPP account with trumpet and have the connection survive a reboot, so can I start up the install already connected and have it identify it? Followup or email (acolyte@uoknor.edu) will be fine.
