When I selected FTP install and COM 2 (/dev/cuaa1) then went to iij-ppp the modem would not respond to "at". I then did a "show modem" and found the device set to COM 1 (/dev/cuaa0). No amount of hacking with the option selections or "set device" in iij-ppp would work to get the modem on-line even when "show modem" displayed /dev/cuaa1. I took the disk back home and tried it on my system with the same results. I even FTP'ed a new boot.flp but nothing seems to work. My old 2.1 boot floppy works but a 2.2 -SNAP boot floppy fails too. Any ideas?? --Steve Steve Emmert steve@emmert.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unix is the only place where you can fork freely without permission, and then kill your children. -Jesus Munroy
