Dual booted win95/fbsd2.2.6. Acer p166. Rockwell p&p 33.6 modem internal built in set on com port 1 (in windows at least, and it shows up as cuaa0 in bsd). I downloaded and installed the src.uue file that changed the libdes to allow me to use PPP. I can't get it to dial out. The modem is already set to cuaa1 and all the other modem parameters are set correctly (parity etc). I get into ppp and can 'show modem' and things are correct. However, when I type term, it just sits there showing me to type ~? for help, which I can do. I can't type anything else, or if anything is being inputted, I get no echo on the screen. I've tried going through the proper commands (at, atdt5555555) and just waiting to see if it did work and I'm just not seeing it, and nothing happens even 5 minutes later. No sound from the modem, no output on the screen, etc. My hosts and host.conf file are (according to examples in the FAQ and confirmed by people on the various freebsd channels on several irc networks) correct and I can ping myself, but I'm told that wouldn't affect the modem not working anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? What more information do I need to post to get more help? I've been trying to get this one specific problem fixed for about 36 hours now. I'll upgrade to the current version of freebsd when I get a chance, but I need to get online with it first. If I need any specific files to help out I can get them but they'll have to fit on a 3.5" floppy. Please respond post haste if you think you can help, I'm at my wit's end. Thank you. - Graey ----------------------------- | slayer@luvewe.eglobe.com | | luvewe.eglobe.com/~slayer | ----------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
