What exactly do you mean, PPP over USB? If ethernet works fine, why not just plug into a wired connection to your local network? > There is no /dev/audio, cat '#A' says hardware isn't soundblaster. Sound support is extremely limited, unfortunately. There's some AC'97 drivers, and drivers for a few USB audio devices, but that's basically it. If you have neither, you'll have to write the driver yourself. > > Not so important issues: > > * There is no plugged usb disk (which I use to boot) > * I'd like to have wifi Again, if it's not already supported, your options are basically 1. Buy a supported wifi card 2. Write your own driver. I don't think we have WPA support, either, so take that into consideration. > * and accelerated graphics (it is hard to get poulsbo working even on Linux) > > How to make it work?

Working with Plan 9 as your desktop OS can be a challenge, but it's also rewarding. Good luck! John
