Thanks for the responses on this. I've figured out that I can archive or delete the log file and a new one gets made on its own. And the debug level seems to be at 4. Upon further checking, it looks like there are 2 log files, one for cuaa0, and one for cuaa1. When I use the dialup PPP, it seems to be using the cuaa1 device. My logins show in the cuaa1 log file. And the contents for the runaway log file are like this: 07/21 18:24:12 aa0 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.16-Jul05 07/21 18:24:12 aa0 check for lockfiles 07/21 18:24:12 aa0 locking the line 07/21 18:24:15 aa0 lowering DTR to reset Modem 07/21 18:24:16 aa0 send: ATS0=3D0Q0&D3&C1[0d] 07/21 18:24:16 aa0 waiting for ``OK'' 07/21 18:24:36 aa0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK' 07/21 18:24:36 aa0 init chat timed out, trying force-init-chat 07/21 18:24:36 aa0 send: \d[10][03]\d\d\d+++\d\d\d[0d]\dATQ0V1H0[0d] 07/21 18:24:40 aa0 waiting for ``OK'' 07/21 18:25:00 aa0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK' 07/21 18:25:00 aa0 init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call 07/21 18:25:00 ##### failed in mg_init_data, dev=3Dcuaa0, pid=3D17787 This is where I get confused... the mgetty.conf file lists cuaa0 as the device, but the ppp seems to be using cuaa1.=20 Help?
