Is your modem really on `COM1'? Or is is on `COM2'? /dev/cuaa0 and /dev/cuaa1, respectively? Have you initialized your modem? As root and using cu try: cu -l /dev/cuaa0 and when you see that "Connected" string, cut and paste the following into the screen: ATE1 Q0 V1 X1 M1 L2 AT&W Then try typing something like ATDT5555555 and listen. If nothing happens ((you should hear the modem dialing 5555555)) on either /dev/cuaa0 or /dev/cuaa1, check your handware connections. If everything looks good you need to return the modem. Probably a lemon. Summary: Make sure FBSD sees your modem Be certain of its serial port and check your hw connections Initialize it with cu -l <device> <cr> AT-string. Listen. If nothing: likely a bad modem. gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
