(please help) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear reader, My modem (a U.S. Robotics sportster 14k4, external, fax/data) has a problem to connect to the telephone line. It says that there is no dial tone. I ran an internal check program (modem docter 6.0) to see if there was fine, and indeed the program did not report any failures. On the other hand, a Best modem, which I borrowed from a friend, has no troubles connecting form the same line. Now I noticed that there are some dip-switches on the sportster. Could it be that I have to change these settings ? I have no manual for this modem, so I wonder whether you can mail me any interesting pages ? Furthermore I noticed some differences in the S-registers between the Best and U.S. Robotics. Also it seems that U.S. Robotics has a continous RLS. I would really appreciate it if you could find time to help me. Yours sincerely, M. Vogel
