Summary
This hour's lesson covered the basic knowledge you will need to have when connecting a FreeBSD machine to the Internet via a modem. FreeBSD isn't anywhere nearly as easy to set up for PPP connections as Windows or the Mac are, nor is it for certain that the ISP with which you have your account will be able to help you troubleshoot your connection. However, PPP is PPP no matter what the platform; with a little bit of experimentation and tweaking, your FreeBSD machine will be able to harness PPP every bit as effectively as the more popular platforms can.
