Hello,

Well I followed the faq instructions trying to get ppp working with my
ISP. I seem to connect ok ( I get ppp connect ok, packet mode) but I
am lost as what to do next. I have tried to switch terminals and
connect with lynx but nothing seems to happen?

I would like to find out where to get more info or atleast what to
look for to narrow down the problem. I have been to the freebsd site,
but I havn't found any more info to help me out. I am running freebsd
2.1 with a 28.8 USR sportster on com2.

Any help is much appreciated and please respond personally if you
wish.

Thanks,

Bill Desjardins
