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

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
