Hello all, I'm still mystified as to why I'm having such a hard time dialing into my FreeBSD system from the outside. I've done some more testing, and here's what I've come up with so far: * Using Minicom, I can dial out from the FreeBSD machine to an outside site, such as a BBS, with no problem. * From my other machine, running Windows NT, on a differnet phone line, using HyperTerminal, I can dial out to a BBS. * Using HyperTerm and Minicom, though, I cannot even dial from the NT machine to the FreeBSD machine and talk, or from the FreeBSD to the NT machine. When I do it either way, I see the "CONNECT xxxx" message on the FreeBSD box, but not in NT. And I get occasional spurts of letters (nothing intelligible, though) on the FreeBSD machine, and nothing at all on the NT machine. * I've even tried swapping the modems and repeating the above tests, and I get the exact same results. All this tells me that the modems work fine, and the serial ports in both computers are fine (these are both external Supra 33.6K modems). The only conclusion that I can draw is that I've got something set up incorrectly on the FreeBSD machine... alhough at one time, it did work, and I haven't chnaged anything. If anyone has suggestions on what to change or check, I'd love to hear 'em. Thanks in advance for any help! ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.
