I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my system via ftp.  Everything in
the installation goes very smoothely until I get to the PPP connection
itself.  I type alt-f3 to see the 3rd terminal with the PPP process
running and I have tried typing term to start the terminal program but
after that, no matter what I type, nothing shows up except for the help
and quit options for the term program.  If possible, could someone please
help me by walking through the PPP connecting process(from the alt-f1,
alt-f3 message screen please)?  Thanx alot for the bandwidth!  Sorry if
this is a dumb question but I have been unable to find an answer anywhere
yet!  Please respond via e-mail to agolden@cyberramp.net.  Thanx again!

Andrew Golden
