Dear Stable,
Okay, I got another modem. Couldn't find PCI as fast as ISA,
so I got an ISA.
Now my system can find sio2 and configure /dev/cuaa2.
I tried to just take a baby step to try things out. I figured
to run ppp manually to see if things are connecting at all.
'ppp' seems to start up ppp ON correctly ["Working in interactive mode"].
'term' seems to have read my ppp.conf file, since it knows to connect
to /dev/cuaa2.
Now I try a simple 'AT' command to see if the modem can hear my typing.
The echo of the modem seems to lag 1 character behind. That is, I only
see the A after I type the T, and I only get the T after I hit Enter.
Modem responds OK.
More trouble:
ATDT 5120027 This dials up my provider modem, but
*Unless* I hit Enter, few characters come through.
Error message:
... /kernel: sio2: 1 more silo overflow (total 1)
Each time I hit enter, a few more characters come through, until login:
I stop here to write for help, because this doesn't look ready for
real communication.
This is a FreeBSD 3.4-RC system.
