I could use a bit of help...
Just loaded FBSD 2.2.1, went smooth. But...

1) I installed BASH 2 (no religious comments, please ;-)
Attempting to "exec bash" results in a seg fault, soooo...
what libs am I missing? bash 2 bug? help. 

(I removed bash 2 and installed bash 1.14 ok, but am 
wondering why "2" faults.)

2) ppp is up ok, but I can't figure out the proper method 
for keep-alive. (Sorry to admit I've been running ping 
from ttyv2 ;-( )

If at all possible, email me as my ISP's news server goes 
up and down often. (Not their problem, at least directly.)

Regards, JohnT
