I know fully well that I should be shot for posting this question without specific information. However the machine is not accessable from here, and there is no internet access from where that machine is. I'm trying to get a FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE machine on the net with a modem. The modem in question is a 56K US robotics ISA jumperable/PNP modem. In PNP mode, its detected at boot up, something to the effect of: sio0: something something 56K something 2f8 (or whatever serial 2 is). There is a mouse on serial 1. It works fine under X. When I cat /dev/cuaa0 it outputs two extended ascii charactors. When I cat /dev/cuaa1 it says device not configured. I type ppp -ddial I get an error message about /dev/cuaa1 and a bad file descriptor. As I've said, I know I should be shot for posting such a non-specific message, but under the circumstances its about the best I can do. If anyone can recommend some more advanced form of troubleshooting based on what little I have provided, I would greatly appreciate it. While I've set up PPPoE on FreeBSD before, this is my first time with a real live modem in the box. Thanks for any help. -- Cotharyus lauasanf@bellsouth.net ICQ: 8690555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
