I am attempting to install FreeBSD. I have tried on 3 completely different computers. I tried it on my desktop, my old 386 computer, and even my notebook. I have run into the same problem every time. During installation, when using the PPP dialer to dial my ISP, I switch to the PPP terminal and type "term". I then type my modem commands "ATDT1609....". Nothing appears on my screen and more importantly nothing happens with the modem. I finally gave up and decided to use the disks. When I tried installing with the disks it didn't work (it was about a month ago so I forget exactly what happened.) I must be doing something wrong. Does anyone know what it is? Thank you very much, Chris iota@usa.net
