I still haven't been able to solve this problem, any input would be 
appreciated. (ps. yes, I've read the modem manual, the FreeBSD Handbook, 
FAQ, and mail archives - learned a lot, but unfortunately not the answer 
I'm looking for.)

Subject: 	getty/modem reset problems

I'm experiencing a problem with dialin connections to my machine running 
2.1R.

I can dial-in and establish a ppp connection or terminal connection without 
problems. However, the next time I dial-in, the modem answers and after 1-2 
seconds, promptly disconnects. I can then dial-in again, and connect 
without incident.

This is repeatable. Successful logon, followed by unsuccessful attempt, 
followed by successful logon, followed by unsuccessful attempt followed by 
.....(you get the picture)

If I try 'tip' after I have had a successful login (i.e. before I get the 
unsuccessful login) I get a 'link down' message. In addition, there is no 
sign of getty listening to the port when I do a 'ps' command. After dialing 
up and being immediately disconnected, I can tip into the modem, and can 
see the getty process.

My modem is a USR Sportster.

Is something failing to reset the modem or getty?  Why would it be reset by 
an unsuccessful login?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Neil
