3) Run the GUI and connect to the core client
Install the port "net/edonkey-gui-gtk" or "net/edonkey-gui-java",

+the FreeBSD native GTK GUI client, or linux-edonkey-gui-gtk if Linux
+one) or 'edonkey-gui-java' (if you chose the Java GUI client). The
+Java GUI is very slow compared to the GTK one but it both supports
+multiple line selections and ed2k link pastes. The GTK one cannot
+do that now but it's very fast; it can accept ed2k link drag-n-drops
+using a mouse and keeps getting new features all the time. Therefore,
+I would advise using both, each for what their strong points are.

Okay, the GUI starts and there is that 'connect to' dialog,
now what do I do?
