Here's my dilemma:

I'm trying to convert my internet connection from a cable modem to DSL, =
and yet I'm having problems trying to configure the DSL modem.

Mainly, it requires you to login through the 'management' port (read: =
serial) and do the initial settings.

So far, I've been trying to log-in from the FreeBSD 4.3 router, to no =
avail.

I try logging in using kermit, and here is what happens:

----- BEGINNING OF SNIPPET -----

su-2.05# kermit -l /dev/cuaa0 -b 9600 -c
Connecting to /dev/cuaa0, speed 9600.
The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
or followed by ? to see other options.
?Carrier required but not detected.
***********************************
 Hint: To CONNECT to a serial device that
 is not presenting the Carrier Detect signal,
 first tell C-Kermit to:

   SET CARRIER-WATCH OFF

***********************************

C-Kermit 7.0.196, 1 Jan 2000, for FreeBSD 3.0
 Copyright (C) 1985, 2000,
  Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Type ? or HELP for help.
(/usr/home/mark/) C-Kermit>quit
Closing /dev/cuaa0...OK

----- END OF SNIPPET -----

It appears to be connecting, but then WHY does it just sit at the kermit =
prompt?

TIA for any help you can lend this dummy.
