I've just installed FreeBSD from the CD and I'm very happy with it.

Just one question: how can I connect to my internet provider with PPP
and start using e-mail, www, ... ?

I followed the FAQ-instruction and ended up with a "cu number -s 19200"
that connected my to the provider server but don't allow my to use
internet services.

Thanks in advance for any help
