Just a thought, you can use the screen utility depending on what you
are trying to do. For example if you want to start a job, long out of
the machine completely, and then return to your job to see how it's
running, you may choose to run screen.

I have a laptop and I was looking at the AT&T LaptopConnect cards. They
appear to only work with Windows. I do need windows support, but I
insist on FreeBSD support.
I tried looking at the hardware and release notes for FreeBSD, but what
do you call these devices to distinguish them from wir

It should be "The FreeBSD project uses man pages [...]" - not "still",
which reads like "The FreeBSD project still uses those old

I have been asked to enable the following kernel option:
