Sorry about the lag, I did an at&f0&w0 on the modem and that did not fix it. here is the contents of my ppp.conf: ################################################################# # PPP Sample Configuration File # Originally written by Toshiharu OHNO # Simplified 5/14/1999 by wself@cdrom.com # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf,v 1.2 1999/08/27 23:24:08 peter Exp $ ################################################################# default: # # Make sure that "device" references the correct serial port # for your modem.

I don't know what to do next. /var/log/ppp.log shows nothing when it gets in the hung state. No ping, etc. What test next ? thanks, Darryl * Darryl Hoar <darryl@osborne-ind.com> [20010131 18:25]: writing on the subject 'ppp problems.'

Try resetting the modem (via minicom or cu) to default factory settings. AT&F&WO Then tell us more and even let's see if something is strange in ppp.conf. I use the same modem as you and I have no problem at all. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
