Hey :) So I'm slowly making progress getting my 3Com cellular modem (3CCM556) working in 4.2. After much fiddling I was able to figure out how to get it up on a usable "com" port: /dev/cuaa3 I'm having a lot of trouble establishing a connection though. I can get the modem to dial up manually using ppp's term command but it's the next part that causes me trouble. I may have a difficult time explaining this properly so bare with me :) For one, the ISP I connect to supports both a regular "tty" type dial-up where I just enter username and pass and can get a shell on the remote system. I am able to establish this connection but there seems to be a major problem with it. The only way I can think to describe this is that where the usual motd should just scroll by after login, I have to continually hit enter and it slowly paints itself on my terminal??!? I notice as I type in term everything seems one step behind. For example, if I type "atdt" after entering term the following appears: ppp ON foobar> term atd The last character does not show up until I hit "enter" a few times. So then comes an actuall ppp connection. In order to establish a ppp link I simply need to put a P in front of my user name: Puser This seems to work in term up to a point, I see a message about obtaining an IP, then ppp looks like it's about to fly, it pops back to the interactive mode, gets as far as PPp then dies :( Oh yeah, I also notice that the modem does not respond to standard commands in term such as "at" or "atz". Is that normal? I'm assuming it's all inter-related? Forgive me for my lack of "precision" in describing this.... I'm learning.... *always* learning ;-) -- Scott foobar# ppp Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 ppp ON foobar> show physical Name: deflink State: closed Device: N/A Link Type: interactive Connect Count: 0 Queued Packets: 0 Phone Number: N/A Defaults: Device List: "/dev/cuaa3" Characteristics: 115200bps, cs8, no parity, CTS/RTS on CD check delay: device specific Connect time: 0:00:00 0 octets in, 0 octets out 0 packets in, 0 packets out Overall 0 bytes/sec To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
