However, once the connection is established, I have a great deal of trouble getting the ftp 'open' command (in another window/session) to properly connect to any address. I have tried both y.y.y.y forms and domain name forms of addresses, both seem to not get resolved. I unfortunately don't seem to have a 'ping' executable in my currently downloaded configuration of FreeBSD, which may help me resolve some net issues (that is one of the reasons I want to get PPP and ftp working...so that I can download additional goodies for fbsd). I have added my ISP's proper NameServer IP address in the /etc/resolv.conf file, in fact, my resolv.conf file looks something pretty much like this: domain blah.net nameserver w.x.y.z I suspect that my PPP connection is not finding the ISP name server. Any suggestions would be most appreciated, since I am quite new to this.
