Hi all,
I have a Sun 3/60 with a black and white screen but I will have one with a
color screen soon.
I have a very basic knowledge of Unix and I want to learn more.
I don't know how to configure ppp to access the internet, if somebody could
give me examples of the config files I need to make it working it will help
me to make the setup.
Do I need an IP address or the service provider will give one to me on every
login.
What is the fastest speed between a Sun 3/60 rs232 port and the modem, what
kind of modem
should I buy.
Anything that cross you mind that you think could be usefull to me regarding
internet access.
I think it will be something good for everybody, because after I will have
access to the net I will look for the faq before asking stupid questions
about NetBSD and the Sun 3/60.
I hope that some day I will become a usefull user of NetBSD but I know that
for now I have a lot to learn.
For now the only thing I could help with is Tandem computer( GUARDIAN
operating system ).
P.S. I'm not a complete idiot! Some part are missing.
Claude Foley.
