Re: PPP providors (partial success!)
I signed up for netscape, becauase hey, it's 1 month free trial anyway. So technically, I'm an AOL luser now *hangs head in shame* :-/ (after logging into the POP, you end up on AOL). The good thing is, I can use the vanilla windows DUN with MS CHAP authentication, so after I get freebsd setup, I'm gonna try configuring ppp. Currently POP login name obfuscation is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] where username is the one you are given when you setup the account (typically nsJohnDoe). The password is not obfuscated. On Tue, Feb 22, 2005 at 05:47:41AM -0500, Mike Hauber wrote: On Monday 21 February 2005 04:28 pm, Peter C.

I don't know if ATT is an option where you are, but they are straight forward and don't require any junk software for connection. HTH Mike -- Peter C.

I ended up using a public port at a library, so I don't have actual experience with them. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Netzero was worthless. Don't know about any other national providers. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
