> How is it that you set up a modem under FreeBSD? I got the CD, > everything installed great, except I can't access the modem You didn't say what you wanted to do with the modem. THese instructions will let you type to it. In fact, I used a varient to log in from my FreeBSD laptop to the machien where I am sending this. (PPP will come soon for those that are wondering :-). Connect a properly-wired cable beetween your modem and computer (assuming that you are using an external modem). My example will assume port 0. When you boot, make sure that sio0 was found. as root type: cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 19200 dir If you change the permissions on /dev/cuaa0, you can do it as an ordinary user. You might want a speed oteher than 19200. You might want to use a comm program other than cu (primitive). Kermit, tip, and seyon are others that exist. Kenneth
