With AT commands for your modem, you can view the current setting and the content of nvram. You can set the default configuration. As another poster said, calling ppp in interactive mode and typing term also puts you in direct contact with the modem. For cu, the "exit" command is ~. (tilde dot). Annelise Actually ppp itself communicates with the modem and you can put strings in ppp.conf to supplement those already there. -- Annelise Anderson Author of: FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your PC Available from: BSDmall.com and amazon.com Book Website: http://www.bittreepress.com/FreeBSD/introbook/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
