Whenever I cu -l/dev/cuaa0 [-s115200 or -s1200] I get "Connected." but that's all I ever receive from the port. I issue several AT commands (ATZ ATE0 AT ATZ ATE1 AT ATZ ~.) ((all followed by a of course)) and I get nothing. Next I do the same thing with cuaa1 and I never get "Connected." so I am assuming my modem is on cuaa0 since it connects but I cannot successfully send commands to it. The modem is a USR 28.8 Sportster and if I recall my AT commands ATE1 enables local echo from the modem, but even there I have myself covered by having an ATE0 as well. -- Ben On or about Wednesday, September 08, 1999, sometime around 3:01:29 PM, you said: WS> On Wed, Sep 08, 1999 at 02:46:07PM -0400, Ben Williams wrote: >> I help to remotely administer a FreeBSD server that recently got an >> external modem addition but I don't know which port they plugged it in >> to.
