I recompiled the kernel with sio0 at the COM1 address and sio1 at the COM2 address and set ppp.conf to /dev/cuaa1. This fixed the problem. I still don't know why when it was set up the other way the modem accepted my commands but I couldn't see the responses. Now my new problem: I have all my files set up as is described in the handbook. I can tell ppp to dial, it dials and connects and logs in fine. Then I switch to another terminal and try ping. If I try "ping localhost" I get: Ping: send to: Permission denied Ping: wrote localhost 64 chars, ret=-1 I have also tried "ping 206.155.61.100" (the address of my ISP) and as root, always with the same result. If I try "ping psln.com" (my ISP) I get a host not found error. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be? Thanks, Daniel Keller
