I was doing some of the steps you suggested in allowing my modem to auto answer, however once I get connected I can't see anything I type. I tried also using minicom and the results are similar. I guess I need to know what are the acceptable baud rate for dial-in modems and if I'm doing something wrong. Yes, the modem does work, at least for ppp dial out on BSD and on other OS's. It is connected to com2 (/dev/cuaa2). When I do a tip com2 it says Connected. But afterwards I loose my local echo and can't see what I"m typing so I have to kill the process. What should I do next?
