Greetings FreeBSD users,

I am trying to install FreeBSD over PPP using the boot floppy and a
Cardinal MVPV34XF External 33.6 modem.  I have successfully used the same
modem in Windows 95 Dialup Networking to connect to my ISP, so I am sure
that the modem is capable of connecting via PPP to my ISP (I've even
copied the init string from Windows 95).

When running the PPP program during install, I am able to connect to my
ISP; however, no data gets transmitted (I cannot ping my FreeBSD machine
from the ISP either).  I have verified all of my network settings with
my ISP several times.  Does anyone have a successful init string for use
with this modem and FreeBSD?  Is there something else that I may have
overlooked?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
-Tim Leehane
