This is irrespective of the operating system in use. Most likey, Windows is sending an init string to the modem that configures some extra options. You should go into the Modem control panel and find out what string(s) it's sending to initialize the modem. You may want to issue the 'factory reset' command -- usually AT&F -- then dial and see if this remedies things. If so, write the status back to NVRAM with AT&W and init the modem with AT&F before dialing. Please consult your modem's manual for further commands. The OS serial-line drivers *CANNOT* and *DO NOT* impact the modem's handshake phase. Unless this is a WinModem, which it is not since you can use it under FreeBSD. :) Doug White Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
