I am unable to print to my printer. My Unix manual talks about lpadmin but
it
does not exist anywhere on my freebsd system.

I am also having trouble with PPP. I can dial and connect to my ISP at
38400;
but as soon as a packet arrives, I'm kicked out and the connection is
terminated before
I have a chance to login. 

I've noticed that some standard Unix utilities are not included with
freebsd. 

Aside from that, I got  dual boot to work between Win95 and FreeBSD. Also,
I'm looking for good reference books on FreeBSD.
