I am having very similar problems, with an added twist, that is confusing the hell out of me.

What could be wrong? > I was able to use the term command and manually dial into both a ppp account and my shell account with the ppp I was able to tlenet to the machine I was dialed into. But my new problem is in the time I was fixing my local ethernet, I seemed to messed up my modem. the only thing I was changing was the ifconfig lines in /etc/sysconfig. The ppp.conf and other files were able to locat e the mode at /dev/cuaa0 now it seem to not be able to find it. On boot up it seems to find it on sio1 type 16550A so I tried changing all /dev/cuaa0 to /dev/cuaa1 in all the /etc and /etc/ppp files and I was able to open term inside of ppp but i could not type into it nor could I kill the process. I could only ~. out of term but I could not kill the process, I could only suspend it. they same thing happened when I tried putting all the /dev/cuaa1 back to /dev/cuaa0 and tried to use /dev/cuaa0 as a hard link to /dev/cuaa1 I can't figure how my modem could have been moved to another com port by toying with the /etc/sysconfig. I am very new to FreeeBSD but I am fairly familiar with running linux. Thanx for reading this and hopefully some info Geoff Cummins
